Spinal Decompression in Roswell, GA
Gentle, traction-based therapy that takes pressure off compressed discs and nerves, without injections or an operating room.
Give the disc room to heal
Spinal discs sit under load all day, and an injured disc rarely gets the break it needs to recover. Spinal decompression changes that. Lying comfortably on a motorized table, your spine is drawn through gentle, controlled pulling cycles that alternate stretch and release.
That rhythmic unloading reduces pressure inside the disc. Lower pressure encourages bulging material to retract and improves the flow of fluid and nutrients into the disc, creating the conditions the body needs to heal.
Decompression may help if you have
- A herniated or bulging disc, in the low back or neck
- Sciatica: pain, numbness, or tingling radiating down a leg
- Degenerative disc disease or chronic low back pain
- Pain radiating into the shoulder or arm from the neck
- Been told surgery is the next step and want a conservative option first
Decompression rarely works alone here. It is paired with gentle Torque Release adjusting, and with red light therapy when your plan calls for it, so the structures around the disc improve together.
Decompression, answered
Is spinal decompression the same as inversion or stretching at home?
No. A decompression table applies computer-controlled force at specific angles and cycles, targeted to the injured level of your spine. Home stretching cannot isolate a single disc or control the pull that precisely.
Does it hurt?
Sessions are designed to be comfortable. Most patients feel a gentle, rhythmic stretch, and some fall asleep on the table.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition, its severity, and how long it has been there. After your examination, Dr. Donnelly will lay out a specific plan with checkpoints so you can see whether it is working.
Can I do decompression if I have already had injections or surgery?
Often, but not always. Bring your history and any imaging to your first visit and it will be factored into whether decompression is safe and appropriate for you.
