Two Palms Chiropractic & Wellness, Bradenton FL
Care  /  Spinal Decompression

Take the pressureoff your discs.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a gentle, drug-free way to ease herniated and bulging discs, sciatica, and the back and neck pain that wears you down. It works gradually, over a series of sessions — not in a single visit — using slow, careful traction to give your spine the room and time to recover. Right here in Bradenton.

What it is
Gentle traction that gives a compressed disc the space to heal.
Between each of your vertebrae sits a disc — a small cushion that can bulge, herniate, or thin out and press on a nearby nerve. Decompression uses a computer-controlled traction system — at Two Palms, a Chattanooga Triton DTS® — that applies slow, programmable pull patterns designed to mimic the feel of hands-on traction, gently lengthening the spine to ease that pressure and open negative space inside the disc. That space draws water, oxygen, and nutrients back in, so the disc can slowly rehydrate and the nerve can calm down. The pulls ease on and off with rest built in, so it stays comfortable. Because a disc heals slowly, this works over a course of sessions — each one building on the last, not in a single visit. You stay fully clothed and simply rest on the table; most people find it relaxing.
What it helps

Made for the pain that lingers.

If any of these sound familiar, decompression may be worth a conversation with Dr. Moore.

Herniated & bulging discs
Easing the pressure where a disc presses on a nerve.
Sciatica
Calming the radiating leg pain that starts in the low back.
Degenerative disc disease
Making room and easing ache as discs thin with age.
Pinched nerves
Relieving the source of the tingling, numbness, or weakness.
Facet & joint pain
Settling the stiff, achy joints that run along the spine.
Chronic low-back & neck pain
For the pain that has long outstayed its welcome.
What to expect

A course, not a quick fix.

1
We listen and examine
Dr. Moore takes your whole history and evaluates your spine before anything else. Decompression is only recommended if it genuinely fits — never by default.
2
A planned course
Because a disc heals gradually, decompression works as a series — usually a few sessions a week over several weeks. We offer a 10-session package, and Dr. Moore recommends the plan that fits you.
3
Comfortable sessions
Each visit is about 20–30 relaxed minutes on the table while slow, gentle traction does the work. Most people find it calming — some even doze off.
4
We reassess honestly
Some people feel relief in the first week, others need the full course, and a few don’t respond much at all — it isn’t a magic cure. We track your progress and tell you honestly whether it’s helping.

How we practice

We’re not trying to keep you here forever.

A 10-session course has an end. Dr. Moore’s goal is to find the problem, get you better — then clear you to go live your life. You’re the one who feels the difference, so we check in on how you’re responding and adjust the plan around what you tell us.
1
A plan with an endpoint
We treat what needs treating, get you better, then clear you. You’re here as long as you need to be — and not a day longer.
2
Wellness on your terms
Feeling great? Go enjoy it. Occasional check-ins — monthly, or every few months — are welcome if they help you stay feeling good. Never required.
3
Not improving? We dig deeper
We don’t repeat the same treatment without progress. If decompression isn’t helping, we refer out — for imaging (X‑ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound) or to the right specialist — to find out why.
Good questions

Before you book.

Does spinal decompression hurt?
No. You’re lying down the whole time, and most people find it gentle — even relaxing. If anything ever feels off, we ease back right away.
How many sessions will I need? Is it a package?
Decompression works as a course, not a single visit. A typical plan runs a few sessions a week over several weeks — we offer a 10-session package, and Dr. Moore recommends the right plan for you after your exam. Finishing the full course matters; stopping early is the most common reason symptoms return.
How soon will I feel better — and does it always work?
Relief is gradual and honestly varies. Some people notice a change within the first week, many need the full course, and some don’t respond much at all — it isn’t a guaranteed cure. Dr. Moore will tell you straight whether it’s helping you.
Is it safe, and is it really non-surgical?
Yes — it’s a drug-free, non-surgical therapy on a specialized table. Dr. Moore screens first to be sure you’re a good candidate before starting.
Will my insurance cover it?
Coverage varies by plan, and many patients use our session package. We’re glad to walk you through the cost before you commit to anything.
Do I need a referral?
No referral needed — you can book directly. If you’re recovering from a car accident or work injury, we can coordinate with your case too.
