If you’ve been dealing with chronic back or neck pain and feel like nothing has worked, it might be time to explore a deeper solution. At Lobacz Chiropractic in Evansville, Indiana, we now offer the Y-Strap decompression technique—a powerful, hands-on method designed to gently stretch the spine and relieve built-up pressure in a way many patients describe as life-changing.
Whether you’re from Evansville, Newburgh, or anywhere in the Tri-State, this innovative therapy is now available close to home.
The Y-Strap (short for "Y-axis strap") is a specialized tool used by chiropractors to apply gentle, controlled decompression along the vertical axis of the spine. This technique mimics the natural motion of manual spinal decompression, helping to release pressure on compressed discs, joints, and nerves.
The strap is placed comfortably around the base of the skull and upper neck. A chiropractor then gently pulls along the Y-axis (head-to-toe direction), allowing a stretch through the spine. Many patients report hearing an audible release or “pop,” often followed by immediate relief.
This method is especially helpful for patients suffering from:
Whether your pain is from poor posture, disc compression, or old injuries, the Y-Strap can relieve pressure in ways traditional adjustments sometimes can’t.
By gently separating the vertebrae, decompression allows herniated or bulging discs to move back into a more natural position.
If you’ve experienced sciatica, pinched nerves, or numbness and tingling down the arms or legs, this technique may help by creating space for nerves to function normally.
Many patients with tension headaches or tight traps feel significant release through the neck and upper back after a Y-Strap session.
At Lobacz Chiropractic, your health and comfort are always our top priority. We’ll start with a thorough consultation and exam to determine if the Y-Strap is right for you. If it is, we’ll walk you through every step and make sure you’re completely relaxed and comfortable.
We often combine the Y-Strap decompression technique with other advanced therapies such as:
Shockwave Therapy
Class IV Laser Therapy
Gentle Manual Adjustments
Soft Tissue Release Techniques
This multi-approach treatment plan helps accelerate healing and deliver long-lasting results.
Yes! When performed by a licensed, trained chiropractor, the Y-Strap is a safe, gentle, and effective way to create natural spinal decompression. It’s not for everyone, though—which is why we always evaluate each patient individually.
If you’re dealing with spinal injuries, severe osteoporosis, or certain neurological conditions, we may recommend an alternative approach tailored to your needs.
We’ve been proudly serving Evansville and Newburgh since 2006 with a focus on natural healing without drugs or surgery. Our patients love that we take the time to listen, customize care, and offer cutting-edge techniques like the Y-Strap, laser therapy, and more.
