MT Core Advanced 3D Spinal Decompression Therapy

A non-surgical approach to spinal care that combines decompression with controlled movement to improve mobility and restore function for both disc-related, arthritis and degenerative spinal conditions.

 

What Is Spinal

Decompression Therapy?

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pressure within the spine.

Using controlled decompression and gentle spinal movement, the therapy helps to:

➜ Reduce pressure on discs and nerves

➜ Improve spinal mobility

➜ Support tissue healing

➜ Reduce pain and stiffness

 
 

Designed for people experiencing disc-related pain, nerve symptoms, or reduced spinal mobility. Treatment focuses on reducing pressure, improving mobility and restoring function.

 

What Conditions Can Spinal Decompression Help?

Spinal decompression therapy may assist with:

➜ Disc bulges or herniations

➜ Sciatica, nerve pain, Myofascial Pain Syndrome

➜ Arthritis and Degenerative disc disease

➜ Spinal stenosis

➜ Chronic neck or back pain

➜ Postural strain and spinal stiffness

➜ Scoliosis

➜ Facet Joint Syndrome


Suitability will be determined during pre-screening.

 

Hunter Functional Health is currently the only clinic in the Hunter region offering advanced spinal decompression with the MT Core system.

 

The MT Core Difference

Unlike traditional traction, which applies a straight-line pull, this approach incorporates gentle, multi-directional movement to better reflect how the spine moves in everyday activities.

MT Core advanced 3D S.M.A.R.T technology provides multi-dimensional spinal therapy, allowing the spine to move more naturally during treatment while decompression is applied.

➜ Multi-directional spinal decompression

➜ Gentle spinal mobilisation during treatment

➜ Targeted therapy for cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions

➜ Comfortable, controlled treatment sessions

The goal is to restore movement while reducing pressure on sensitive spinal structures.

 

By supporting natural spinal motion, this advanced approach is designed to reduce pain, improve mobility and restore function as part of a structured treatment plan.

 
 

Key Features

 

Your Treatment Journey

Your treatment plan is designed to support gradual improvement over several weeks. Consistency with your treatment plan helps support the best outcomes.

  • When you book your first appointment, you will complete a short pre-screening form so your clinician can review your symptoms and medical history and determine whether spinal decompression therapy may be appropriate for you.

    If the treatment is not suitable, we will contact you to discuss alternative options or referral if required.

  • If suitable, your first treatment session will be completed, along with a post-treatment care plan that may include:

    ➜ Guided post-treatment mobility or strengthening exercises

    ➜ Tailored at-home care recommendations to support recovery

    ➜ Confirmation of your recommended treatment plan and next steps

  • Most treatment plans involve 10–12 sessions over several weeks to progressively improve spinal mobility and reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves.

    We offer flexible payment options including Pay-As-You-Go or Multi-Session Packs.

  • Your progress will be monitored throughout your treatment plan.

    After your initial treatment plan, your clinician will review your progress and discuss the next stage of care, which may include continued treatment, maintenance sessions, or rehabilitation exercises.
