Dr. Andrew Garner
The Problem
Compressed spinal discs and irritated nerves can lead to chronic lower back pain, sciatica, numbness, tingling, and reduced mobility.
The Root Cause
In many cases, damaged or compressed discs place pressure on nearby nerves and restrict how the spine moves and functions.
That pressure is often what causes pain to keep returning.
Our Approach
Spinal decompression gently stretches and decompresses the spine to help reduce disc pressure, improve mobility, and support natural healing, without surgery or injections.
What Is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to create space between compressed discs.
That space can help reduce pressure on irritated nerves, which is often what causes pain to travel into the low back, hips, legs, neck, or arms.
The goal is simple:
Take pressure off the spine so your body has a better chance to heal.
Unlike a quick adjustment, decompression is designed to target disc pressure over time using a controlled, gentle treatment table.
Real Patient Results
"I’ve never been to a chiropractor or a facility like Freedom. Dr. Garner‘s attention to detail, with his explanations, is second to none.
The staff is helpful, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely polite. I came here because Northwestern Hospital wanted to do back surgery, and I had no confidence in them, nor did I think that was necessary.
Just after a short period of time, I have noticed an incredible difference due to Dr. Garner."

Frequently Asked Questions
How does spinal decompression work?
Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine using a specialized treatment table to help reduce pressure on compressed discs and irritated nerves. This controlled movement creates more space within the spine, which may help improve mobility, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing process over time.
What does spinal decompression feel like?
Most patients describe spinal decompression as a gentle stretching sensation in the lower back or neck. The treatment is designed to be comfortable and relaxing, and many people feel relief as pressure on the spine begins to decrease.
Is spinal decompression safe?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment designed to gently reduce pressure on the spine. Before starting care, we perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether decompression is appropriate for your condition and health history.
Can spinal decompression help with sciatica?
Yes — spinal decompression is commonly used to help patients experiencing sciatica caused by disc pressure or nerve irritation in the lower back. By helping reduce pressure on the affected nerves, decompression therapy may help decrease pain, numbness, tingling, and discomfort traveling into the hips or legs.
Do you treat herniated or bulging discs without surgery?
Yes. Many patients with herniated or bulging discs seek spinal decompression as a non-surgical treatment option. Our goal is to help reduce pressure on the affected discs and nerves while improving spinal function and mobility naturally.
Is spinal decompression good for chronic lower back pain?
Spinal decompression may help patients dealing with chronic lower back pain related to disc issues, degeneration, or nerve pressure. Every case is different, which is why we begin with a detailed evaluation to determine whether decompression is the right fit for your condition.
Can spinal decompression help avoid surgery or injections?
For some patients, spinal decompression may provide a non-surgical alternative for managing disc-related pain and nerve irritation. While every case is unique, many people explore decompression before considering more invasive procedures like injections or surgery.
How do I know if I’m a good candidate for spinal decompression?
The best way to determine whether spinal decompression is right for you is through a comprehensive spinal evaluation. We assess your symptoms, mobility, posture, and any imaging findings to determine whether decompression may help your specific condition.
What is included in the $97 spinal decompression visit?
Your $97 visit includes a consultation, spinal evaluation, decompression session, X-rays if needed, and a doctor’s report of findings. We’ll determine what may be causing your pain and whether spinal decompression is the right treatment option for you.
Do I need X-rays before starting treatment?
Not always. If additional imaging is needed to better evaluate disc spacing, alignment, or degeneration, digital X-rays may be recommended as part of your evaluation. This helps us determine the safest and most effective treatment approach for your condition.
