Relieve Holiday Back Pain With Spinal Decompression Therapy

Dec 08, 2025

The holiday season is full of joy, but it’s also full of activities that can flare up back pain. Long drives, marathon shopping days, carrying packages, and hours spent sitting at gatherings can all add extra stress to your spine.

If you’re feeling increased pressure, tightness, or nerve pain this time of year, spinal decompression therapy may help you get relief so you can enjoy the season comfortably.

Why Spinal Decompression Helps During the Holidays

This gentle, non-surgical treatment helps reduce pressure on the spine by stretching and relaxing the discs and joints. This can:

  • Relieve nerve irritation
  • Reduce radiating leg pain or numbness
  • Improve mobility for daily holiday activities
  • Ease muscle tension caused by stress
  • Support healthier posture during long periods of sitting or standing

When your spine has more space to move and decompress, everyday movements become easier and pain levels can drop significantly.

Common Holiday Triggers for Back Pain

Patients often notice increased symptoms due to:

  • Lifting heavy shopping bags or holiday décor
  • Long car rides or flights
  • Wrapping gifts in awkward positions
  • Increased stress and muscle tension
  • Reduced physical activity from busy schedules
  • Cold weather stiffness

Spinal decompression can provide targeted relief from these seasonal flare-ups.

What to Expect From Treatment

Sessions are comfortable and typically last 10–20 minutes. You’ll be gently secured to the decompression table, and the machine performs slow, controlled stretching cycles customized to your needs. Most patients describe treatment as relaxing and many feel relief within just a few sessions.
