Spinal Decompression is a fantastic treatment option for helping relieve back pain or other issues. This treatment involves the use of a spinal decompression table to help relieve pressure on the spine. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, which helps to take pressure off of the discs and nerves which may help alleviate pain from many different issues.
This treatment is often used to help treat herniated discs, protruding disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and other forms of back pain. Depending on your specific case, we recommend doing a series of sessions with a combination of other forms of chiropractic treatment.

Decompression Therapy in the Shoreview Area
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that may help provide relief on the pressure on your discs that sit between your vertebrae. By releasing this pressure, it can help quickly alleviate pain for many different symptoms. Depending on your health concerns, our Chiropractors in Shoreview may recommend Spinal Decompression as part of your treatment plan.
Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression is a treatment option that helps gently stretch the spine. This helps to take pressure off of the discs and nerves in your back. During a Spinal Decompression treatment, you’ll lay on a special motorized table. The top half of the table remains fixed while the bottom half of the table slowly moves and is controlled by an advanced computer system.
Dr. Andrew Krueger fits you with a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk. You’ll be positioned either face-up or face-down on the table, which is computer controlled to help gently stretch and decompress your spine. Dr. Andrew Krueger controls the table using the connected computer, customizing the treatment to your specific needs.
As your spine is stretched it takes pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. That negative space gives herniated and bulging discs space where they may retract. This helps take pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine and ultimately leads to less pain and discomfort. This can also help increase the movement of other nutrient-rich fluids, water, and oxygen into the discs to promote healing.
What Does Spinal Decompression Treat?
Spinal Decompression can be an extremely beneficial treatment option for a variety of reasons, including:
When the disc between your body and spine is hurt, it’s called a herniated disc. It can be hard to move because the pain makes you want to stay still. When you have a herniated disc, it is important to rest and take care of yourself until the pain goes away.
Bulging Discs
A bulging disc is a disc that has been injured and is protruding out from its normal position. This can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected area.
Degenerative disc disease is a condition that affects the discs in your spine. The discs can become weak and thin over time, which can lead to pain and other problems.
Sciatica is when there is a pain in your lower back that sometimes extends down you buttocks and legs. Sometimes this can happen when a person has a herniated disc, bulging discs, or degenerative disc disease.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a condition that happens when the spinal column becomes narrower. This can cause problems like pain, numbness, and tingling.
Does Spinal Decompression Hurt?
Spinal Decompression Therapy is generally a gentle and soothing treatment that is typically painless in most cases. Some patients with significant disc damage may experience minor discomfort during their first few treatments.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions you will need will depend on your individual condition. In some cases, you may only need a few sessions to see results. However, in other cases, you may need to undergo spinal decompression therapy for several weeks or months. Dr. Andrew Krueger will work with you to build a treatment plan for your specific needs.

I have been coming here for almost 10 years and Northstar Spine has a reputation for having some of the friendliest, most caring staff members of any chiropractic care in the area. Doctor Andy really gets to know you and makes sure you get the treatment that is right for you!
My lower back was negatively affecting my quality of life. It feels amazing since Iāve started seeing Dr. Andy and Iām able to do everything I want to do without chronic lower back pain. Getting regular adjustments also helps me keep illness away.
Love Dr. Andy and all his staff. Super flexible and easy to get in. I always feel better after getting adjusted. Check your them out if youāre new to chiropractic or looking for someone new to see. Highest recommendation!
I saw an ad for this place pop-up while I was on Facebook ironically, I was in need of getting adjusted and saw that they had a promotion running for $18 which I thought was totally fake. It was only 15 minutes from home so I took a chance on it and a boy am I happy that I did. Andrew and his team were very welcoming and the establishment was very clean. He was quick to help me narrow down some of my issues with my neck and back and got me adjusted and x-rayed right away. You cannot beat the service that they can provide especially on initial contact versus price. I would recommend it to anybody needing to be adjusted, especially if you do not have insurance.
Dr. Andy is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. He listens to his clientās needs and responds accordingly. The online system is easy to navigate and convenient for scheduling. Highly recommend!
