Spinal Decompression Therapy
in Oak Harbor, WA

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to gently stretch the spine and help relieve pressure on compressed discs, irritated nerves, and surrounding soft tissue. At Bayshore Chiropractic, we use the Chattanooga Triton 6E Traction Table to provide controlled, comfortable traction for patients dealing with conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc issues, and chronic neck or back pain.



The Triton 6E allows our team to customize traction settings based on each patient’s condition, comfort level, and treatment goals. By carefully reducing pressure in the spine, decompression therapy may help improve mobility, decrease nerve irritation, and support the body’s natural healing process. This treatment is often recommended for patients looking for a conservative option before considering more invasive procedures.
