Non-surgical treatment for herniated discs, bulging discs, and chronic back pain. Relieve pressure on your spine naturally and potentially avoid surgery.
Spinal decompression therapy uses a specialized motorized table to gently stretch the spine. This creates negative pressure within the disc, allowing herniated or bulging disc material to retract and relieving pressure on compressed nerves. It's a safe, non-invasive alternative to back surgery.
Treatment is comfortable and relaxing. Many patients describe it as a gentle stretching sensation, and some even fall asleep during sessions.
Dr. Mayfield evaluates your condition, reviews imaging, and determines if decompression is right for you. Not everyone is a candidate—we'll be honest about your options.
You lie comfortably on the decompression table. A harness is fitted around your hips, and the table is adjusted to target your specific problem disc level.
The table gently stretches and relaxes your spine in cycles for 20-30 minutes. The computer-controlled system ensures precise, safe treatment.
Most patients feel relief after the first few sessions. A full treatment plan typically involves 15-20 sessions over 4-6 weeks for lasting results.
Clinical studies show spinal decompression has success rates of 71-89% for reducing disc-related pain. Many patients who were told they needed surgery found relief through decompression. It's worth trying this conservative approach before committing to an invasive procedure.
