Spinal Decompression
Spinal Decompression Therapy in St. Petersburg
Are you suffering from back pain, sciatica, or a herniated disc in St. Petersburg, Florida? Looking for a non-surgical, drug-free solution that actually works – without the risks of invasive procedures?
At Hood Chiropractic, we know how frustrating it can be to live with chronic spine-related pain. When discomfort becomes a part of your daily routine, it’s easy to feel like your options are limited to temporary fixes or risky surgeries. But there’s another path – one that’s safe, gentle, and proven to work: spinal decompression therapy.
Led by Dr. Christopher Hood, our team offers non-invasive spinal decompression to relieve pressure on compressed discs and irritated nerves. This advanced technique gently stretches the spine, creating space for discs to rehydrate, nerves to calm, and tissues to heal. It’s an ideal option for patients dealing with bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, or post-injury pain – all without downtime, injections, or surgical intervention.
Conveniently located in St. Petersburg and serving surrounding communities like Gulfport, Pinellas Park, and Kenneth City, Hood Chiropractic is here to help you move forward with relief that lasts. If you’re ready to get off the pain rollercoaster, spinal decompression may be your next step toward healing.

Did You Know?
Spinal decompression has been shown to help improve disc height, reduce nerve irritation, and reverse some of the damage caused by chronic spinal compression.

Our Approach
At Hood Chiropractic, spinal decompression is more than just lying on a machine – it’s part of a tailored plan for long-term spinal health. Dr. Chris and his experienced team use decompression therapy as a complement to Chiropractic BioPhysics®, posture correction, and individualized rehabilitation.
Treatment involves a comfortable motorized table that applies gentle traction to specific areas of your spine. This stretching motion helps create negative pressure inside the disc, allowing bulging or herniated material to retract and healing nutrients to flow in. Most patients describe it as relaxing – and many begin to notice improvement within a few sessions.
Depending on your condition, we may pair decompression with corrective exercises, spinal adjustments, or traction-based therapies to help stabilize your results. Our goal is not just pain relief, but true healing and long-term spinal correction – so you can get back to moving with confidence and ease.
