Lumbar Decompression in Springdale, AR

Lumbar decompression gently reduces pressure on compressed discs without surgery or downtime. It’s one of the most effective non-invasive options for chronic low back and disc pain.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in Springdale, AR

If you’ve been dealing with chronic low back pain, sciatica, or a disc issue that hasn’t improved with regular adjustments or physical therapy, lumbar decompression may be the option you haven’t tried yet. Using the DRX9000, Dr. Favorite creates a gentle, controlled pulling force on the spine that reduces pressure inside the disc, allows bulging or herniated material to retract, and helps oxygen and nutrients flow back into the damaged area to support real healing.

The DRX9000, Springdale's Most Advanced Decompression System

Favorite Family Chiropractic is the only office in the area registered with Excite Medical to offer the DRX9000. Unlike basic traction tables, the DRX9000 uses computer-controlled traction with precise angles and pressure settings, monitors how your body responds in real time, and alternates between stretch and relaxation cycles to prevent your muscles from guarding against the treatment.

What to Expect During a Lumbar Decompression Session
