What Our Patients Are Saying
I went to see Dr Kubler for help with pain in both knees. After reviewing my xrays, it was discovered I had a lateral spine issue causing my pain. Dr Kubler mapped out a plan to correct my spine and reduce my pain with adjustments, decompression and exercise. Dr Kubler helped me get back to enjoying life.

I cannot recommend Dr. Nick Kubler enough. When I first went to see him, I was literally doubled over with severe back pain that had started affecting my mobility and my daily life—especially as a parent to an active 8-year-old. I have been working with Dr. from last year, and his approach throughout my recovery was incredibly thoughtful and methodical. From the very beginning, he took the time to clearly explain what was causing the pain, what the recovery process could realistically look like, and how each step of the treatment would help. He always kept expectations realistic while also showing measurable progress during each session, which was very motivating. What really stood out was that he didn’t just focus on treating the pain in the moment. He invested time in teaching me exercises and mobility practices that I could do on my own to strengthen my back and support long-term recovery. Dr. Kubler also takes the time to know his patients beyond just the appointment. He showed genuine interest in understanding my lifestyle and my family, and helped me make small but meaningful changes that supported not just recovery, but maintaining a healthy back long term. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who is deeply knowledgeable, patient-focused, and committed to helping you recover and stay healthy, I highly recommend Dr. Nick Kubler.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kubler’s for three years now. I have chronic pain due to scoliosis and degenerative discs. I’ve had multiple surgeries to my back for ruptured discs. With regular adjustments and spinal decompression treatment, Dr. Kubler has truly helped change my life. My pain substantially decreased under his care and I found myself enjoying hobbies that I had stopped due to my constant pain. He also helped take care of me through my pregnancy helping to relieve the low back, sciatic nerve, and round ligament pains I experienced during my second and third trimesters and postpartum.
Dr. Kubler really listens and adapts his techniques to better serve his patients. His desire for knowledge and to help are palpable in every interaction. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kubler and how he has helped me and my family.

Dr. Kubler is fantastic! As a new patient who has struggled with scoliosis for many years and hasn’t found real relief until coming to Dr. Kubler, I was a little nervous to get adjusted—but I felt truly cared for from the start. He was very attentive, explained everything clearly, and my adjustment brought real relief. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy chiropractor!

How Spinal Decompression Works
When it comes to pain, many Americans know the struggles that come with it. If pain is negatively affecting your life, Capital Chiropractic has many treatment options to help you while avoiding surgery and prescription drugs. Relief is possible with natural chiropractic treatments, including spinal decompression.
This FDA-approved technology relieves pain by expanding the space between the discs. During the procedure, the patient doesn’t experience any discomfort and will feel the spine gently stretching. This movement causes a vacuum effect within the disc, drawing back displaced disc material to help relieve pressure on nerves and replenish the spine with essential nutrients, fluids, and oxygen to help heal the damaged disc. The great thing about this therapy is that there is also no recovery time.
So, if you suffer from chronic back or neck pain, then spinal decompression at Capital Chiropractic may be the best treatment for you. Give our Sacramento office a call today to schedule a consultation. You’ll be one step closer to living pain-free.
Spinal Decompression Clinical FAQs
Disc bulges, protrusions, and contained herniations often show good response. The therapy creates negative intradiscal pressure that can draw protruding material back toward center though results vary by individual healing capacity.
Modern systems use microprocessor-controlled cycles of distraction and relaxation, avoiding muscle guarding that occurs with static traction. This allows greater distraction forces comfortably at Capital Chiropractic in Sacramento.
We adjust angle of pull, distraction force, hold time, and session duration based on disc level involved, patient size, and condition acuity. Protocols differ significantly for cervical versus lumbar conditions.
Most plans involve 20 sessions over 6-8 weeks, though individual response varies. We monitor progress through symptom tracking and functional assessments, adjusting frequency as needed.
We avoid decompression with certain implant types, severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, tumors, or advanced instability. Thorough screening including imaging review ensures patient safety before starting treatment.
We often combine it with gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, and core stabilization programs. This comprehensive approach addresses both structural and functional aspects of disc health.
We provide specific posture guidance, activity modification advice, and sometimes bracing recommendations. Consistent home practices significantly influence long-term treatment success for disc conditions.
With proper home care and maintenance, many patients maintain improvements for months to years. We recommend periodic re-evaluations and occasional maintenance sessions based on individual needs and activity levels.
