Find Lasting Relief With Non-Surgical Spinal Therapy

If you’re living in Calabasas and managing persistent back, neck, or nerve pain, spinal decompression therapy provides a gentle, non-invasive solution designed to address the root cause of your discomfort. Summit Health Group is conveniently located just minutes from Calabasas at 55 Rolling Oaks Dr, Suite 100, Thousand Oaks, where Dr. Shay Shani delivers individualized decompression treatments built around each patient’s specific condition and recovery goals.

Spinal decompression therapy uses a computerized decompression technology to carefully stretch the spine, relieving compression on intervertebral discs and the nerve tissue surrounding them. This controlled stretching generates negative pressure within the disc, drawing in healing fluids and nutrients that support natural tissue repair. For many patients, the result is improved spinal alignment, reduced pain, and long-term functional recovery, achieved entirely without medication or surgery.

Why Calabasas Patients Choose Summit Health Group

Comprehensive, Integrated Spinal Decompression Care

  • 100% Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Therapy
  • Improved Posture and Range of Motion
  • Certified Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Providers
  • Fully Personalized Treatment Plans

Summit Health Group brings together Primary Care, Physical Therapy, and Chiropractic Medicine under one roof, giving Calabasas patients access to coordinated, multidisciplinary care that goes well beyond a single-specialty approach.

Calabasas residents commonly seek spinal decompression therapy for conditions including:

  • Herniated and Bulging Discs: When discs shift out of position or rupture, they can press against surrounding nerve roots, producing sharp or radiating pain. Decompression therapy encourages the disc to retract and reduces that nerve pressure.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Years of wear, dehydration, and reduced disc height can lead to chronic stiffness and inflammation. Decompression restores nutrient flow to damaged discs, supporting gradual renewal and pain reduction.
  • Sciatica: Nerve compression along the sciatic pathway can cause pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates into the hips, legs, or feet. Spinal decompression reduces that compression and helps ease associated symptoms.
  • Chronic Neck and Lower Back Pain: Whether rooted in posture, repetitive strain, or prior injury, spinal decompression provides a structural, targeted solution for restoring comfort and range of motion over time.

Unlike surface-level pain management, spinal decompression works directly on the mechanics of spinal dysfunction, making it a durable, long-term approach to improved spinal health.

Calabasas Spinal Decompression Therapy FAQs

How does spinal decompression therapy work to relieve pain?

Spinal decompression therapy uses a computerized decompression technology to carefully stretch the spine.
