Find disc relief — without surgery.
Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Dr. Mayfield has used this approach for over 30 years to help patients avoid surgery for herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.

Controlled decompression for lasting disc relief.
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, motorized traction treatment that gently stretches the spine. This creates negative pressure within the disc — helping retract herniated material, promoting healing nutrient flow, and relieving nerve pressure. Sessions are typically 20–30 minutes and most patients find them relaxing.
Disc problems decompression can address.
Spinal decompression is effective for a range of disc-related conditions that have not responded to other conservative treatments.
Herniated & bulging discs
The negative pressure created during decompression helps retract disc material and creates an optimal healing environment — the core indication for this treatment.
Sciatica & nerve pain
When disc material or stenosis compresses a nerve root and causes leg or arm pain, decompression relieves the pressure at the source.
Degenerative disc disease
Age-related disc wear responds to the improved nutrient and oxygen flow that decompression promotes, helping slow progression and reduce pain.

What is spinal decompression therapy?

This creates negative pressure within the disc, which can help retract herniated or bulging disc material and promote the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the disc for healing.
What conditions can spinal decompression treat?
Spinal decompression is commonly used to treat herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and facet syndrome. It can provide relief for chronic back pain and neck pain that has not responded to other conservative treatments.
Is spinal decompression therapy painful?
No, spinal decompression therapy is typically not painful. Most patients find it relaxing. You may feel a gentle stretching sensation in your spine during the treatment. Some patients even fall asleep during sessions.
How many spinal decompression sessions will I need?
A typical treatment protocol involves 15–30 sessions over 4–8 weeks, depending on your condition and response to treatment. Each session lasts approximately 20–30 minutes. Dr. Mayfield will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
