Spinal Decompression Therapy Care in Cumming, GA
Our spinal decompression therapy in Cumming, GA gently relieves pressure on the spine to help reduce back and neck pain, disc issues, and nerve compression. This non-surgical treatment is designed to promote healing, improve mobility, and restore long-term spinal health.
Where Are You In Pain
Spinal Decompression therapy, also known as Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy, is a proven non-surgical treatment for back pain and sciatica caused by bulging, herniated, and degenerative discs.
Unlike traditional traction, Spinal Decompression gently lengthens and decompresses the spine, creating negative pressures within the discs—gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine. This reversal of pressure generates a vacuum effect that relieves pressure on pinched nerves, helps reposition bulging discs, and pulls extruded disc material back into place.
Additionally, this therapy encourages the movement of essential nutrients and fluids, such as water and oxygen, into the discs, promoting healing and restoring disc health.

Frequently asked questions about spinal decompression therapy
What is spinal decompression therapy?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses a motorized traction table to gently stretch the spine. It is designed to reduce pressure on the spinal discs and the nerves around them. It is one option we may recommend for back and neck pain.
Is spinal decompression the same as traction?
They are related, but not identical. Traditional traction applies a steady pull, while a decompression table uses gradual, computer-controlled cycles of stretching and relaxing that are designed to be gentler and more targeted. We are happy to explain the difference in more detail during your visit.
Who is spinal decompression for?
Many patients come to us with back or neck pain related to bulging or herniated discs, degenerative disc changes, sciatica or nerve compression. It is not right for everyone, so Dr. McNamara performs an exam first to decide whether it fits your situation. Some conditions, including pregnancy, may mean it is not appropriate.
Does spinal decompression hurt?
Many patients find it generally comfortable. You lie on a padded table with a harness and feel a gentle stretching sensation. If anything feels uncomfortable, tell us and we can adjust the settings.
How long is a session, and how many will I need?
A session usually lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. Care is typically a series of visits over several weeks, and the exact number depends on your condition and how you respond. Dr. McNamara outlines a plan after your exam and reviews your progress along the way.
Is spinal decompression covered by insurance?
No. McNamara Chiropractic is a self-pay practice and does not accept insurance. Fees are explained before any treatment begins, so there are no surprises. Call us at 770-781-4200 with any questions about cost, or see our insurance and payment page.
