Be it persistent back spasms, an aching neck, sciatic nerve pain shooting down the leg, or even chronic back pain that may trouble you. Research suggests that back pain is the most prevalent in more than half of adults living with pain. Another study suggests that many Americans will experience back pain in their lifetime. Are you someone who often complains about back pain? Do you struggle while doing any physical activity? In short, your pain affects your day-to-day life and hampers your work. We understand how difficult it can be to continue in your personal and professional space if a person struggles with discomfort or pain. You may miss out on work or tasks at home due to that pain, and try hard to focus on managing things. A healthy mind and body in tandem can work wonders, but an unhealthy body can affect you in every way possible.
There is no dearth of research on the subject; however, people sometimes end up with excessive or unrequired treatment. Everyone is different, and how their body responds to the treatment can vary. It can disappoint and break you if you’ve not achieved some great results. Surgery is the last resort when you deal with extreme cases. After you understand the underlying cause and different treatments, there are chances that you may never have to undergo surgery. Sometimes people may or may not benefit from standard treatment options. If you are tired of having anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, or other methods that help you temporarily, then spinal decompression may help you.

Spinal decompression works by stretching the spine gently. This change usually takes the pressure off the spinal discs (gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine) by creating negative pressure. It results in bulging discs retracting which removes pressure from the nerves. This helps the movement of fluid, water, and oxygen and encourages your body’s natural healing process. It is a simple, non-invasive procedure that safely manages back pain. The practitioner thoroughly understands your condition and then examines it with the help of scans or x-rays. Then at the appointment, you’ll be asked to lie down on the table and harnessed, adjusting the treatment to your symptoms and needs. You may or may not feel mild soreness or stiffness after the procedure.
Avoid back surgery and ditch the painkillers with spinal decompression. Contact us for your consultation and assessment.
Foothill Family Chiropractic is unique in their approach to treatment. Dr. Mehr treated my back injury over 6 years ago after an auto accident. He treated me with decompression treatment, which my previous chiropractor didn't do. And I have been pain free since then. I recently saw him for an adjustment for some tightness in my lower back.
Dr. Mehr is unique because he listens to you then educates you on your issue then explains the customized treatment to help you get better. As a dentist, my back and neck are important. Dr. Mehr has kept my back and neck in good health. *
Caring staff. It is truly a family! Dr. Mehr is an amazing healer. He treated my lower back pain with decompression and laser. *

I am 71 yrs old and have never been to a chiropractor. For a year I had been suffering with chronic, sometimes crippling nerve pain. My son recommended Dr Mehr @Foothill Family Chiropractic. Dr. Mehr and his friendly, competent staff immediately put me at ease. With his decompression treatments I am able to walk better often with no pain. Here’s to more and more pain free days. I highly recommend Foothill Family Chiropractic.*

You don't have to live with pain. I went there because I suffered a chronic back pain. That made me gain weight and I was unable to do any kind of sport. After almost 3 months of spinal decompression, therapy and adjustment I can said that I'm free of pain. But you have to be committed with the program and follow their instructions. The only difficult part is the logistic of going there 3 times per week, other than that you just have to go there and relax. They will make you feel better! *

I have seen Chiropractors off and on for over 20 years. Dr Mehr is by far the best chiropractor I have ever gone to. In fact, after incurring a back injury in January 2023 I started with a particular chiropractor who was recommending surgery at my third appointment.
I was looking for a non-surgical solution.
I then came to Dr Mehr needing to use a low back brace to stand up. I brought x-rays and an MRI I had done with me. He explained what they were showing and what treatment he would recommend. Through spinal decompression and chiropractic adjustments, by April 2023 I did not need to use the back brace anymore.
Recently, September 2024, Dr Mehr took x-rays of my neck. After educating me to what they were showing, we started neck decompression treatments. Within a month of these treatments I am already seeing increased mobility, strength and balance.
Going to Dr Mehr is the best decision I ever made. He is very knowledgeable, very skilled and very friendly. He cares about his patients and does his best to help them get, and stay, healthy. I HIGHLY recommend Foothill Family Chiropractic. They are the BEST. *
