Get Back to Living!
At Health First Chiropractic & Wellness in Glen Allen, we understand how debilitating back pain can be. It affects every aspect of your life – from your ability to work and exercise to simply enjoying time with your family.
That's why we're proud to offer advanced spinal decompression therapy, a non-invasive solution that has helped thousands of patients find relief when nothing else worked.
What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression therapy is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure acts like a vacuum, helping to reposition bulging disc material and promote the influx of healing nutrients into the disc. The result? Significant pain reduction and improved mobility without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
We can help with:
Bulging Disc
Sciatica
Herniated Disc
Spinal Stenosis
Degenerative Disc Disease
Why Choose Hill DT Spinal Decompression at Health First?
NON-INVASIVE
Hill DT Spinal Decompression offers pain relief without surgery. This gentle technology creates negative pressure within discs, allowing retraction of herniated material and promoting healing blood flow—all without incisions, anesthesia, or recovery time.
GENTLE APPROACH
Experience comfortable treatment sessions where precision computerized technology gradually relieves pressure on nerves. Patients often feel relaxed during their sessions, with many experiencing improvement after just a few treatments.
SAFE & EFFECTIVE
Hill DT Spinal Decompression is an FDA-approved therapy designed to significantly improve outcomes for patients with chronic or long-lasting pain. It's especially effective for those who have tried other treatments without success.
Why Other Treatments Haven't Worked
If the bulging part of the sponge or disc is cut away (as in surgery) from the nerve, the disc will continue to deteriorate, dehydrate, weaken, worsen and die because the pressure keeps fluids, nutrients and oxygen out of the disc so it cannot survive.
Medications such as steroid shots or pills could reduce the inflammation, but only temporarily because the pressure is still on the disc and nerve.
Hill DT Spinal Decompression provides long lasting relief - naturally!

Frequently Asked Questions
During spinal decompression treatment the patient lies fully clothed and secured by a pelvic belt on a comfortable, computer controlled table.
The pelvic belt is attached to a tensionometer, which plays a key role in accurately administering this non-invasive procedure. Precise measurements of tension and pressure changes guide the specific use of the spinal decompression table, enabling the specifically trained therapist to focus on decompression to the specific level of spinal dysfunction.
Most patients with low back pain require an average of one session per day for 20 to 25 visits. Each session lasts about 30 minutes. The patient's progress is continually evaluated, and adjustments to the treatment plan are made as required.
No, most patients find spinal decompression therapy to be comfortable and relaxing. The treatment is gentle and controlled, with safety features that ensure the force never exceeds what's appropriate for your condition. Many patients actually fall asleep during their sessions!
Spinal Decompression therapy is not typically covered by most insurance providers. However, we offer a number of payment options to make care affordable and to best fit your financial needs.
