Spinal Decompression

Before Decompression:

Spinal decompression is a safe, non-surgical, and drug-free treatment option for people dealing with chronic neck or back pain caused by disc-related and nerve-related conditions. It’s often recommended for patients whose pain hasn’t improved with rest, medication, or traditional physical therapy, and who want to avoid injections or surgery when possible. Decompression works by gently reducing pressure on the spinal discs and nerves, creating a more favorable environment for healing and symptom relief.

This type of care is especially helpful for people with bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, disc degeneration, or persistent pain that travels into the arms or legs. If sitting, bending, or certain movements consistently make symptoms worse, decompression may be an appropriate option.

After Decompression:

A decompression treatment gently lengthens and releases the spine through controlled, repetitive traction.

As the table pulls and releases, a negative pressure change is created within the intervertebral disc, surrounding soft tissue and spinal joints. The reduction of pressure inside the disc (decompression) allows the disc bulge or herniation and the nutrients to be pulled back into the disc.

Rehydration of the disc and surrounding structures creates a physiological change which decreases pain levels and assists the body’s natural healing process.

This non invasive approach is often used to treat conditions that result in persistent neck pain, back pain and nerve related symptoms, without the need for surgery.

I cannot recommend Scriven Chiropractic enough! I’ve been struggling with chronic shoulder tension and debilitating migraines for the longest time, and I’ve tried just about everything to find relief. After just one session with Hunter, I felt an immediate shift. His approach to the chiropractic adjustment was incredibly thorough and precise. He really took the time to understand where my tension was held and how it was triggering my headaches. For the first time in months, I walked out feeling "light" and—most importantly—migraine-free. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who actually listens and delivers real results, look no further. Hunter is a true professional and a master of his craft. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Amazing 1 on 1 intensive Chiropractic treatment! I am a Marine Corps Veteran and have been receiving various treatments for my upper back and have never received the attention to detail in care I get here. Dr. Scriven take his time to find the root problem of your injuries and will develop a strategic plan to get the care you deserve. If you are a Veteran and seeking care outside the VA through community care check out Scriven Chiropractic! They are approved through the VA community care network and will take care of you!

Best chiropractor! I have seen 10+ different chiropractors and by far this was my best experience! Gives you 1 on 1 care and takes his time! Popped me in spots never been popped for my lifetime! Has fixed my sciatic nerve issues and neck pain! Have finally been headache free for months now! Being align in your spine is absolutely important! Also able to deal with joint pain which I would highly recommend talking to him about! He has other techniques besides just spine alignment! Definitely recommended Dr. Scriven to anyone! Thank you Dr. Scriven! - John S.

Shockwave and Spinal Decompression!!! Due to my job, I have suffered from chronic neck pain for years, and have visited standard doctors, chiropractors, and massage therapists all without meaningful results. Dr. Scriven explained to me, mechanically, what was happening at every point during the appointment and made me feel like I was in the care of an expert. After one appointment with Dr. Scriven I have more pain relief than I’ve ever felt in the cumulative 3 years of previously attempted treatments. The shockwave was nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. It lasted about it 10 minutes, and felt like I received 10, back to back, hour long deep tissue massages without the associated soreness afterwards. The spinal decompression was incredibly relaxing but at the same time mechanically taxing. We focused on my neck but I felt it all the way down my spine down to my hamstrings. In summary, it was an incredibly emotional experience to finally confirm that I don’t have to live with this pain for the rest of my life.

Where has he been all my life?! Hunter is absolutely amazing. I had no idea about shockwave therapy or the benefits of it, but after one visit, all my pain was gone. Gone! Don't sleep on it. Book!

Dr Scriven did such an amazing job with treating my neck and back pain that I had for 8 years, after a few visits my pain is fully gone! I’ve been to many chiropractors before and they didn’t help me anywhere near the amount that Dr Scriven did! He is very clearly a professional and I highly recommend him to anyone!!!
