Spinal Decompression in Naperville, IL

Personalized Care for Back Pain and Disc-Related Concerns

When back pain makes sitting, working, or staying active difficult, understanding your options is an important first step. At Renew Health & Wellness in Naperville, Dr. Mike Genslinger evaluates your symptoms and health history before recommending care.

Non-surgical spinal decompression uses a motorized table to apply controlled traction, a pulling force, to the spine. Treatment settings are adjusted to the individual, with periods of pulling and relaxation.

Your consultation helps determine whether decompression should be considered, whether another approach may be more appropriate, or whether further medical evaluation is needed.

What’s Included in Our Spinal Decompression Services

Individual Assessment

We begin with your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment, and the activities affected by your discomfort.

Review of Relevant Imaging

If you have existing X-rays, MRI reports, or other relevant records, Dr. Mike can review them alongside your examination findings. Further imaging is recommended when clinically indicated.

Motorized Traction Sessions

If decompression is recommended, you are positioned on the treatment table and supported with the appropriate equipment. Traction settings are selected for your treatment plan and adjusted according to your response.

Additional Care When Appropriate

Your plan may include chiropractic care or guidance on activity and movement. Each recommendation has a specific purpose based on your assessment.

Follow-Up and Progress Review

Follow-up visits provide an opportunity to discuss changes in pain, movement, and daily function. Your response helps determine whether to continue treatment, adjust the plan, or consider another option.

Why Spinal Decompression Matters

Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Relief

Avoid surgery and long-term medications with this safe, effective alternative.

Targets the Source of Pain

Rather than masking symptoms, decompression works to relieve pressure at the root of the problem.

Improves Nerve Function

Reducing pressure on spinal nerves helps restore balance, reduce pain, and improve mobility.

Supports Long-Term Healing

Used alongside chiropractic and rehab, decompression can help you maintain spinal health for the long haul.

No Downtime, Just Results

Each session is quick and gentle—with most patients reporting noticeable improvement within a few treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does non-surgical spinal decompression work?
It uses a motorized table to apply controlled traction to the spine, usually alternating pulling and relaxation. The intended aim is to change mechanical loading on spinal structures. It is different from spinal decompression surgery, which removes tissue to relieve pressure.
Some patients with these concerns ask about decompression, but a diagnosis alone does not establish suitability. Evidence for lasting benefit is limited, and major guidelines do not recommend routine lumbar traction for lower back pain with or without sciatica. Your assessment should include a discussion of other care options.
Decompression should not be presented as a proven way to repair a damaged disc or permanently move a herniated disc back into place. Treatment decisions should focus on your symptoms, function, clinical findings, and available evidence.
You may feel a pulling or stretching sensation. Tell the provider immediately if you experience pain, dizziness, increasing numbness, or other new symptoms. Settings may need adjustment, or treatment may need to stop.
Conditions such as a spinal fracture, significant osteoporosis, spinal instability, infection, or a tumor affecting the spine may make traction inappropriate. Pregnancy and previous spinal surgery also require specific consideration. Share your full health history before treatment.
Not everyone needs new imaging. Recommendations depend on your symptoms, examination, and medical history. Bring existing reports if you have them, and ask the clinic how to share them before your appointment.
There is no standard number suitable for everyone. If treatment is recommended, the proposed schedule should include reassessment. Continuing care depends on your response and whether the plan remains appropriate.
It cannot guarantee that surgery or medication will be unnecessary. Do not change prescribed medication or delay recommended specialist care without speaking to the clinician managing your condition.
Previous surgery does not automatically establish whether treatment is appropriate. The type of surgery, healing status, any implants, and your current symptoms need review. Clearance from your surgeon may be needed.

Contact Renew Health & Wellness for current consultation and treatment fees. Ask the team about payment arrangements and check your insurance plan for coverage of the specific service. Coverage should be confirmed before beginning treatment.

Seek emergency care for new difficulty passing urine, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or saddle area, or rapidly worsening leg weakness. These symptoms require urgent evaluation rather than a routine decompression appointment.
