Spinal decompression is a non-surgical technique aimed at reducing pressure on a herniated, bulging or degenerated disc. In Puchong, this usually means one of two approaches: motorised traction on a decompression table (often branded as DRX9000, Triton or similar systems), or manual decompression techniques performed by hand during a chiropractic adjustment. Both aim to create negative pressure inside the disc space so the bulging material can retract slightly and pull in nutrients and fluid to aid healing. It's commonly used for lower back pain that radiates down a leg (sciatica), neck pain with arm numbness, or a confirmed slipped disc from an MRI or X-ray.
The 15 clinics listed in this category all offer some form of spinal decompression or disc-focused treatment. Before booking, ask whether they use a proper motorised traction table or rely purely on manual stretching, since the two aren't interchangeable for a confirmed disc herniation. Also ask if they review imaging (MRI or X-ray) before starting a program, since decompression isn't appropriate for every type of disc problem or for patients with osteoporosis, fractures, or certain implants.
Our scoring weighs how clinics are reviewed for pain outcomes, clarity around treatment plans and costs, and whether staff explain what's actually wrong before recommending a package.
