Testimonials from Satisfied Patients
Spinal Decompression Works Great!
“Dr. Upchurch has been instrumental in helping me fix my lower back. I've been dealing with chronic low back issues for over 10 years, have been to countless experts, and I was very hesitant initially to do chiropractor work, but I am so glad I did. He eased me into it, and built up my strength gradually. My back now feels stronger, and I have been gaining flexibility. X-rays already show improvement in disc regeneration!”
– Dejan N.
Spinal Decompression Helped Me Continue to Work
"Dr Upchurch was just spot on with my sciatic nerve issue. I was wondering how many more years I was going to be able to paint. He suggested the decompression table! Boy, he was right. I feel like a totally new person. He really knows his stuff. I listen to how he deals with every patient—the care and compassion really show. You certainly can't go wrong with Upchurch Chiropractic. Doesn't stop there either. His staff is great also. Fantastic place to get straightened out!"

Sciatica Relief
“I was feeling some left leg pain along with some numbness trickling to the toes, which started to restrict my movement. I couldn’t lift my leg or bend to put on jeans. I was getting worse, beginning to feel severe pain in my lower back and left hip, so I started taking 800mg of Motrin all day long just to work. I started seeing another chiropractor, but I felt stagnant with my care, so I went searching for another doctor and found Dr. Upchurch. Treatment felt slow-moving at first, but with regular adjustments, I got much better. I can now lift my legs to dress without a problem, and I no longer need any medication for pain. I’ve told my family and co-workers to come to Dr. Upchurch, and you should too."
– Julie B.
Sciatic Nerve Pain
“I had been putting off going to see someone for the pain I had been feeling. I tried different medicines, rubbing my leg for almost a month, but nothing was working. My primary care doctor sent me to try some traction therapy, but I didn’t see much change. So, I looked into chiropractic. I came to see Dr. Upchurch and started getting regular adjustments. The pain noticeably abated, and within 2 short weeks, the pain was gone! I can walk now, and I’d say I improved 100%. I definitely suggest coming to see Dr. Upchurch if you’re ever in pain."

Why Spinal Decompression Works
Spinal decompression therapy involves gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure within the spinal discs. This helps bulging or herniated discs retract, relieving pressure on the surrounding nerves. As a result, pain is reduced, and the flow of oxygen, nutrients, and fluids is restored, promoting healing. Patients can experience significant pain relief without the need for surgery or medication.
