Negative pressure where your disc needs it most.
Spinal decompression uses a computer-controlled motorized table to gently distract the vertebrae, creating negative intradiscal pressure. That draws herniated material back toward center, allows nutrients and oxygen back into the disc, and relieves the nerve compression that sends pain down your leg or arm. No incision, no downtime, and a treatment plan measured in weeks — not months of surgical recovery.

Where can I get spinal decompression in Shreveport?
At 2219 Line Ave, Shreveport, LA 71104 — call (318) 828-1517. Minutes from Bossier City and Barksdale AFB. Dr. Mayfield performs a thorough evaluation before recommending decompression to confirm you are a good candidate.
What conditions does spinal decompression treat?
Herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica from disc compression, spinal stenosis, and posterior facet syndrome. The motorized table creates gentle negative pressure inside the disc, drawing herniated material back toward center and relieving pressure on compressed nerves.
Is spinal decompression painful, and what does a session feel like?
Most patients describe it as a gentle stretching sensation — not painful. You lie fully clothed on the table while it cycles through traction and relaxation phases over 20–30 minutes. Many patients fall asleep. Call the Shreveport Line Ave office at (318) 828-1517 to ask questions before your first session.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical plan involves 15–20 sessions over 4–6 weeks, often combined with chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic exercises. Clinical studies report success rates of 71–89% for reducing disc-related pain. Dr. Mayfield reassesses progress regularly and adjusts the plan as needed.
Does insurance cover spinal decompression at the Shreveport office?
Coverage varies by plan. Many major health plans and TRICARE cover spinal decompression when medically necessary. Auto insurance (MedPay or PIP) often covers it for disc injuries from a car accident on I-20 or I-49. Our Shreveport staff at (318) 828-1517 verifies your benefits before the first visit.
