A slipped or herniated disc happens when the soft cushion between spinal vertebrae bulges or ruptures, often pressing on a nearby nerve. This can cause lower back pain, sciatica down the leg, neck pain, or numbness and tingling in the arms or hands, depending on where the disc sits. Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment aimed at this problem: it gently stretches the spine, either manually or using a motorized traction table, to reduce pressure on the disc and nerve, create space between vertebrae, and encourage fluid and nutrients back into the disc to support healing.
In Puchong, 15 chiropractic clinics offer some form of spinal decompression or slipped disc management, and the approach varies quite a bit between them. Some rely on manual adjustments and mobilization, others use dedicated decompression tables (like DRX9000-style systems), and many combine this with supportive therapies such as heat, electrical stimulation, or rehab exercises. Before booking, it's worth asking whether the clinic actually assesses your case with imaging or orthopedic tests before starting treatment, rather than jumping straight into a generic package, and whether they give you a realistic timeline and reassessment points rather than an open-ended course of visits.
Our scoring looks at how clinics are reviewed for pain outcomes, clarity of diagnosis and communication, and consistency of care over multiple sessions, so you can compare them on more than just proximity.
