Fairway Chiropractic Centre offers a non-invasive and effective treatment option for those suffering from chronic back pain: Spinal Decompression. Our Kitchener clinic uses this innovative therapy (a specialized table) to gently stretch the spine in a rhythmic way (60sec stretch, 30sec relax), allowing for increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to the discs and also creating a negative pressure vacuum effect which can suck a disc herniation back in, thereby reducing pressure on the pinched nerves and promoting healing.
Get in touch with us to see the benefits of spinal decompression therapy and how it can provide relief.

SpineMED® provides a Non-surgical, Drug-free procedure for REVERSING A DISC HERNIATION.
What does Spinal Decompression Therapy help with?

A herniated disc occurs when the outer layer of the disc becomes damaged, allowing the soft, jelly-like center to leak out. This often happens due to excessive bending or twisting.
It’s widely understood that the best way for a damaged spinal disc to heal is by reducing the pressure within it, i.e. to decompress. This is why decompression is the primary goal of many surgical procedures for disc herniation.
To address the needs of those experiencing a herniated disc, SpineMED® is designed to target and decompress injured discs through a series of gentle stretching and relaxation cycles that last about 30 minutes. This process achieves two key objectives:
By reducing pressure on the disc, it creates a vacuum-like effect that helps draw the bulging disc material back into place, similar to squeezing toothpaste back into its tube.
Note: A Spinal Disc has no blood supply, so it gets its nutrients by diffusion from the blood-rich vertebrae above and below. This diffusion only happens with movement.
The rhythmic stretching and relaxation cycles improve blood flow to the disc, delivering essential nutrients from the surrounding blood-rich bones and promoting healing.

There is More to Your Success Than Simply using a Spinal Decompression Table.
The person using the table is a critical component.
Firstly, making sure that you are a good candidate for the table is the most important step. This way we don’t waste your time and money. That said, there is no way of guaranteeing a successful result – but our success rate is over 90% in this office for improved quality of life.
Then, the Dr. needs to create the best plan for your healing to take place. This includes deciding the best settings of the Spinal Decompression Table for your individual situation, as well as proper education of what to do and not to do while undergoing treatment.
Following this, there is still more healing taking place even once your sessions on the table are finished. Knowing how to ensure that this continues to occur at its best and knowing a plan to strengthen your back are critical components to produce resilience from your back or neck pain, sciatica, and pinched nerve symptoms.
Dr. Nik has extensive post Chiropractic training and extensive experience helping people recover from:

We want to celebrate SpineMED successes with you. Here are a few stories from SpineMED.com.
“My diagnosis is herniated disc and facets syndrome. I tried other treatments; several physical therapy treatments sessions, but did not see any improvement. I went through the treatment about six months ago. I am 100% better than I was before I came for treatment. I would definitely recommend the SpineMED® treatment to anyone who has pain like I had. It really worked. It was the only thing that worked for me. And to this day I’m pain free … pretty amazing.”
Darren Purcell, Santa Cruz, CA
“I had 2 degenerative and bulging discs. I couldn’t really stand up straight, and I always walked bent over in pain, I couldn’t tie up my own shoes. I went through chiropractic treatments, physiotherapy treatments, epidural injections, and nothing seemed to work. Now I feel fine, a lot better than I did before. I would say about 99% better. I can bend over and tie my shoes, I can tolerate a lot of things I couldn’t before. And I’m sleeping at night now! I would recommend the SpineMED® to other people. I always knocked other advertised treatments until I tried SpineMED®, I’m a believer.”
James Parker, Watsonville, CA
I haven’t woken up with a migraine in a month – that’s the first time ľ’ve been able to say that in the past 59 years. The migraines were for many years hormonal but as I got older they evolved into what I felt had a more physical cause. Over the years I’ve tried chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, Botox, and naturopathic remedies. I’ve been prescribed many ‘preventative’ migraine medications, all to no avail. I’ve been hospitalized with tests showing no causation of the migraines and when, many years later, a neurologist told me he could not help me I gave myself up as a lost cause.
Every time I awoke with a migraine I blamed myself in part – too much time vacuuming perhaps or raking or even sitting for too long. The only resource I had was a migraine medication taken with OTC pain killer/muscle relaxants and often in addition antinausea tablets. My days, sometimes as many as 5-6 times weekly, were spent enduring the migraine until the medications kicked in many hours later or, in the following days, feeling the aftereffects of both the migraine and the medications.
Regular chiropractor adjustments, particularly with Dr. Nik, reduced the severity of the migraines so when he suggested Spinal Decompression along with more frequent chiropractic adjustments I was only too willing to try the treatment even though it was costly. I was not apprehensive but instead interested in starting the process which I found relaxing and not at all painful or uncomfortable and I appreciated the reassurance given that I was in the correct positioning. The 30-minute sessions passed quickly, and I appreciated greatly the wonderful care I received. I expected that if the
treatment was successful for me it would be after perhaps half of the 25 sessions, but 1 started feeling better after only a few appointments and improved incrementally with each session.In the past my life was filled with pain and the ensuing procrastination in many aspects of my life and now to wake each day without a migraine is so astounding that it is taking me a while to adjust mentally. I am no longer surviving my days but living a life I thought was impossible due to the constant migraines. I am now able to sit at my laptop and write regular emails to my family members overseas – a task which would always result in a migraine and was, therefore, constantly postponed. I no longer dread going out for the day knowing it would result in a migraine that night. My adult children are so happy to see the difference in me – seeing me live each day fully with optimism. It would have been so easy to discount the suggestion that there was yet another option in my constant search for migraine relief given the cost and the logistics of multiple appointments, but I am so glad that I took a leap of faith and ended up with a lightness of being in body and spirit which I thought was improbable if not impossible.
