Spinal Decompression is a fantastic treatment option for helping relieve back pain or other issues. This treatment involves the use of a spinal decompression table to help relieve pressure on the spine. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, which helps to take pressure off of the discs and nerves which may help alleviate pain from many different issues.
This treatment is often used to help treat herniated discs, protruding disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and other forms of back pain. Depending on your specific case, we recommend doing a series of sessions with a combination of other forms of chiropractic treatment.

Decompression Therapy in the Somerset Area
Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that may help provide relief on the pressure on your discs that sit between your vertebrae. By releasing this pressure, it can help quickly alleviate pain for many different symptoms. Depending on your health concerns, our Chiropractors in Somerset may recommend Spinal Decompression as part of your treatment plan.
Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression is a treatment option that helps gently stretch the spine. This helps to take pressure off of the discs and nerves in your back. During a Spinal Decompression treatment, you’ll lay on a special motorized table. The top half of the table remains fixed while the bottom half of the table slowly moves and is controlled by an advanced computer system.
Dr. Brandon Goodpaster fits you with a harness around your pelvis and another around your trunk. You’ll be positioned either face-up or face-down on the table, which is computer controlled to help gently stretch and decompress your spine. Dr. Brandon Goodpaster controls the table using the connected computer, customizing the treatment to your specific needs.
As your spine is stretched it takes pressure off the spinal discs, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. That negative space gives herniated and bulging discs space where they may retract. This helps take pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine and ultimately leads to less pain and discomfort. This can also help increase the movement of other nutrient-rich fluids, water, and oxygen into the discs to promote healing.
What Does Spinal Decompression Treat?
Spinal Decompression can be an extremely beneficial treatment option for a variety of reasons, including:
When the disc between your body and spine is hurt, it’s called a herniated disc. It can be hard to move because the pain makes you want to stay still. When you have a herniated disc, it is important to rest and take care of yourself until the pain goes away.
Bulging Discs
A bulging disc is a disc that has been injured and is protruding out from its normal position. This can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected area.
Degenerative disc disease is a condition that affects the discs in your spine. The discs can become weak and thin over time, which can lead to pain and other problems.
Sciatica is when there is a pain in your lower back that sometimes extends down you buttocks and legs. Sometimes this can happen when a person has a herniated disc, bulging discs, or degenerative disc disease.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a condition that happens when the spinal column becomes narrower. This can cause problems like pain, numbness, and tingling.
Does Spinal Decompression Hurt?
Spinal Decompression Therapy is generally a gentle and soothing treatment that is typically painless in most cases. Some patients with significant disc damage may experience minor discomfort during their first few treatments.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions you will need will depend on your individual condition. In some cases, you may only need a few sessions to see results. However, in other cases, you may need to undergo spinal decompression therapy for several weeks or months. Dr. Brandon Goodpaster will work with you to build a treatment plan for your specific needs.

I have been going to Dr. Goodpaster for about 7 months for wellness adjustments with the activator technique. I appreciate that he offers both traditional adjustments as well as the activator. I always feel better after my adjustment & I highly recommend him. His receptionist is also great. They always accommodate my request for an appointment, even on short notice. 10/10.
Since coming to Proactive Spine Care I have been having less pain in my legs and less headaches. I have been sleeping much better. He is so nice and really cares about your problems. I recommend him if you are having pain issues.
Back in November, I was having a lot of back pain. It was extremely hard to sit up to drive a car or to sit in the passenger seat. I went to proactive spinal care. Dr. Goodpaster suggested that I do 12 sessions of decompression. It took those 12 sessions to help my back. I am now able to drive freely and to sit in the passenger seat and walk around my home and other places out in public without pain, I greatly appreciate his expertise in the care for the spine. I highly recommend it going to his office.

A friend recommended proactive spine care and I am very impressed. I was down on my back and in so much pain when arriving. The staff is so accommodating and kind. We built a treatment plan and i wouldn't recommend anywhere else! If I could give 10 stars I would!
Best chiropractor l've ever been to!!! Extremely gentle adjustments and he has been able to adjust an area on my right side that no one else has ever been able to adjust! I'm a hard right side adjustment! More relief after one adjustment than I've ever had in all the adjustments l've had!!!
I went to see Dr. Goodpaster when a disk had slipped out and hit a nerve i have had terrible back pain for a few years I've been to several Dr's. with no relief after one visit it stopped the pain and after a few visits a no longer had the pain in my back that I had dealt with for years having to take pain meds and using a ice pack several times a day I was so amazed all my back pain was gone wish I had went to him sooner.I can't thank him enough for relieving the pain in my back i feel like a new person
I highly recommend Dr. Goodpastor. I have an issue for which I was receiving quarterly injections. Since beginning treatments at ProActive Spine Care over a year ago, I no longer have to have injections.
Dr. Brandon is wonderful. He listens and takes his thing with patients in order to develop a treatment plan based on what you need. 10/10 would recommend.
I came to Dr Brandon Goodpaster for problems with sciatica. He asked all the right questions before having the adjustments.<br>I felt better than I have in two months. I will be going back again this week. I highly recommend Dr Goodpaster to everyone who is having back problems. Well worth the visit. You will be impressed as much as me.
Absolutely Recommend!<br>The team at ProActive Spine Care has been incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout my treatment. I came in with pain and numbness in my right arm caused by a narrowing in my vertebra, and their treatment plan brought fast and effective relief. Brandon took the time to thoroughly explain the issue and the steps to address it, which made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. Lori was also a great help, and the decompression table has made a noticeable difference in my recovery. If you're looking for chiropractic care, do yourself a favor and visit ProActive Spine Care — you won’t regret it!
Recently came across this practice looking for dry needling to help the inflammation and nerve pain I've dealt with in my trap/neck for nearly 6 years now. Our first visit we reviewed my MRI my primary ordered a few months prior, and discussed treatment plans and different things we could try. Lori and Brandon are absolutely wonderful, and I'm so glad I found their practice!! Brandon is very kind and takes the time to answer and questions you may have in terms you'll understand. I felt a HUGE difference within the first 3 sessions. I'm now 7 sessions in and starting decompression therapy (which I'd never even heard of) to help correct some herniated discs. (I thought surgery was going to be my only option!! Hallelujah!) I love that they offer flexible hours and them being open until 6pm is awesome when you work a 9-5!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for chiropractic treatment or alternative treatment options for certain injuries!!
This is the best place to go in town! I had so much tightness in my back & lower back. No other chiropractor that I had gone to was able to pop it & give me any type of relief until I started coming here. My first visit he was able to do what no other chiropractor I visited was able to do. I am so thankful that they take the time to listen to my concerns & help me. Really amazing people. You will not be disappointed like I was so many times while visiting different chiropractors. Give them a call today so you can start feeling better like me. ❤️
After months of no answers from doctors and a misdiagnosis, ProActive spine found out the root cause of my pain! If I had waited the amount of time the doctor wanted me to wait, I would have been in so much more pain. I also visited with an ENT who confirmed the same exact thing ProActive did. You will not be disappointed if you visit this office! Everyone is so nice and the atmosphere is calming. He also does dry needling.
When I started seeing Dr Goodpastor I had an injury in my elbow that was not healing due to a pinched nerve in my neck I was already in Physical therapy and was getting worse with every visit. Each appointment with Dr. Goodpastor I improved by about 25%. We added Dry Needling to help with some muscle issues and that almost completely took my pain away completely( still a work in progress) I've only been going to Proactive Spine care for almost 2 months Dr. Goodpastor and Lori are great! They care about your progress and listen to your concerns, needs and celebrate your progress with you! I highly recommend them.
Highly recommend. Friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Brandon explained everything in terms I understood and made me feel very comfortable. Lori is helpful and cheery. A great experience, I felt better after my first visit!
I highly recommend Dr Goodpastor. He takes great care of my children and myself. Teaching the children the importance of spine care. For myself he cares for my shoulder and neck pain. My level of pain has greatly been reduced and the best range of motion I have had for years.
Dr. Goodpastor and his staff(Lori) are truly wonderful. I was in severe pain and they were able to get me seen on the same day. They were both very welcoming and Dr. Goodpastor is very knowledgeable and explains everything well. 100% recommended!
Absolutely love this place. So easy to deal with, completely stress free process of coming in, getting services (which are amazing btw, you will leave with your back feeling like the years have been erased) and scheduling for the next. Even if you only do 1 visit for an alignment, it's worth it. I tell everyone about it that even SLIGHTLY mentions their back because I just can't recommend it enough.
Dr. Brandon and staff are awesome. Got an appt really quickly, short wait time, I’m 69 with a lot of issues and Dr Brandon addressed them all, I finally found a Chiropractor that I know will help me, Best chiropractor I’ve ever been to,
I could barely walk in to my appointment but once Dr. Goodpaster finished with my adjustment, I felt like a new woman. He clearly explained to me what my xrays showed and what he was doing to correct it. The receptionist was kind and very helpful in making appointment. I highly recommend.
I really appreciate the last minute appointment. Ive been so sore for two weeks straight and driving to the appointment was still painful. However, the Doc is a rockstar and he took care of me! I drove home in no pain. I feel great even now, hours later and Im sure Im finally going to get a good nights rest. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes at the end of the day, you cant ask for more! Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you again.
