SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

When Back Discomfort Keeps You From the Activities You Love

September 16, 2026 by Dr. Elise Rigney

You finish a workout and your back is talking to you.

You avoid a certain movement at the gym.

You hesitate before signing up for the next race.

Or maybe you’ve started skipping the hike, golf game, or pickleball match because you’re worried about how you’ll feel afterward.

When discomfort starts changing how you live, it’s worth paying attention.

πŸ‹οΈ Don’t Just Focus on the Symptom

It’s easy to get focused on one question:

β€œHow do I make this stop hurting?”

But at Impact, we also want to know:

β€œWhat is this keeping you from doing?”

Maybe you want to get back to your favorite sport. Maybe you want to train without constantly modifying exercises. Or maybe your goal is simply being able to play with your kids without thinking about your back.

Understanding that bigger goal helps guide the conversation around your care.

πŸƒ Recovery Is Part of Performance

More isn’t always better when it comes to training.

Sleep, hydration, nutrition, appropriate progression, mobility, and rest all contribute to recovery.

And when something continues to bother you despite adjusting those habits, it may be time to have it evaluated.

What About Spinal Decompression?

For some individuals, spinal decompression may be one option to consider.

This non-surgical therapy uses controlled traction to gently create space within the spine and temporarily reduce pressure on spinal structures.

Our doctors can evaluate your individual situation and determine whether decompression may be appropriate as part of your care.

πŸ“ Now Available at Impact Fort Collins

We’re excited to now offer spinal decompression exclusively at our Fort Collins clinic.

Whether your goal is returning to a sport, getting back into the gym, exploring Colorado, or simply moving through everyday life more comfortably, we want to help you understand your options.

Spinal Decompression Is Now at Impact Chiropractic Fort Collins

September 13, 2026 by Dr. Elise Rigney

We have something new at Impact!

Spinal decompression therapy is now available exclusively at our Fort Collins clinic.

If back or neck discomfort has been getting in the way of workouts, sports, outdoor adventures, work, or simply moving through everyday life comfortably, you may be wondering what options are available.

Spinal decompression gives our Fort Collins team another tool to consider when creating an individualized approach to care.

What Is Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical therapy that uses controlled, gentle traction to create space within the spine and temporarily reduce pressure on spinal structures.

The process is designed to be comfortable and customized to the individual.

Who Might Consider Spinal Decompression?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

If you’re experiencing ongoing back or neck discomfort or symptoms that are keeping you from doing the activities you enjoy, the first step is understanding what’s going on.

Our Fort Collins team can evaluate your individual situation and determine whether spinal decompression may be an appropriate option for you.

πŸƒ Getting Back to What You Love

With sports as our theme this September, we’re talking a lot about what it means to stay active for the long run.

For one person, that might mean getting back to golf.

For someone else, it’s running, lifting weights, hiking Horsetooth, playing pickleball, keeping up with their kids, or simply getting through the workday more comfortably.

That’s ultimately what matters to us.

We don’t want the conversation to stop at what’s bothering you. We want to understand what it’s keeping you from doing.

Why We Added Decompression at Impact

Our goal has always been to help our patients live healthier, fuller lives.

Adding spinal decompression allows our Fort Collins team to offer another non-surgical option that may complement an individualized care plan when appropriate.

And just like everything we do at Impact, it begins with getting to know you, understanding your goals, and determining what makes sense for your individual needs.

πŸ“ Available Exclusively in Fort Collins

Currently, spinal decompression is only available at our Fort Collins clinic.

If you’re curious about decompression or wondering whether it could be appropriate for you, we’ve created a dedicated page where you can learn more about the technology, our approach, and your next steps.
