For many people suffering from chronic back , neck , shoulder and sciatica pain , there have seemingly been two choices : try to treat the symptoms and live with the pain , something that creates a daily struggle , or go the medical route and have surgery . However , there is a third option . Dr . Richard Mulcahy has introduced spinal decompression as a third option , and the results have been a game-changer for many .

Mulcahy ’ s clinic Spinal Decompression & Regenerative Therapy is in Millersburg , and as a certified spinal decompression chiropractor , his practice makes his services unique in the region .
In focusing on spinal decompression , Mulcahy has helped many people suffering intolerable back pain , and the results have not only decreased patients ’ pain , but also have prevented them from having to undergo costly surgery that leads to lengthy rehabilitation time . It also has proven to be much less expensive , and spinal decompression offers a safe , nonsurgical and cost-affordable alternative treatment with an 86 % success rate .
“ Over my years of practicing , I had patients who eventually stopped responding to chiropractic manipulation because their degeneration had gotten to a point where they were throwing their money away because they were getting little to no relief ,” Mulcahy said . “ This isn ’ t simply treating the symptoms ; it ’ s a healing process .”
Since coming to Millersburg , Mulcahy has gained many satisfied clients who are pleased with the results they ’ ve experienced .
“ Before decompression therapy , I had a lot of lower back pain with awful sciatica leg pain ,” Elsie Raber said . “ After completing Dr . Mulcahy ’ s initial recommended course of decompression treatments , I had an 80 % improvement and can now walk much better .”
As a longtime chiropractor , Mulcahy said he was hearing from too many patients who told him they weren ’ t improving , so Mulcahy began exploring alternatives that led him to spinal decompression .
He said while chiropractic treatments are great for many people , sometimes there are needs that go beyond that , which is where spinal decompression
“ Before decompression therapy I had a lot of lower back pain with awful sciatica leg pain . After completing Dr Mulcahy ’ s initial recommended course of decompression treatments , I can honestly say I had an 80 % improvement and can walk much better .”

became an effective alternative , and the results have been staggering .
While the scientific terms surrounding what happens to a person ’ s spine over time can be difficult to understand , Mulcahy puts it in simpler terms .
“ It ’ s like when the steel belts in a tire weaken and it creates a bubble in the tire ,” Mulcahy said . “ Eventually , it makes its way through the final steel strands and bulges out . It ’ s similar inside the discs , and when degeneration sees the support rings in the spine begin to crack , it puts pressure on the sciatica , and eventually , the spinal column can actually fuse together naturally , at which point spinal decompression won ’ t be a possibility .”
In providing this specialized treatment , spinal decompression allows those damaged rings to heal up by releasing the pressure on the spine naturally , rather than through surgery , where that bulging spinal disc is cut or burned off .
After experiencing great growth , Mulcahy moved from the lower level of the AloNovus building in Millersburg to the larger upper level . In doing so , he introduced some new regenerative medicine therapy techniques including shockwave therapy , an acoustic pressure wave therapy that helps alleviate plantar fasciitis .
In addition , he has cold laser regenerative medicine , practices that have helped ease tendonitis and rotator cuff pain .
Randy McKee Dr . Mulcahy ’ s spinal decompression treatments include monthly maintenance pulls that help keep the spine in shape .
“ It ’ s focused on healing people from the inside out ,” Mulcahy said . “ Even though I am a chiropractor , I specialize in spinal decompression , which is entirely different .”
As a way of introducing spinal decompression benefits to those who may have questions , Mulcahy is offering an introductory deal .

Mulcahy said the priority of spinal decompression is simple .
“ I want people to live and travel without pain and most importantly to get back to doing everything that they enjoy doing without troublesome back pain interfering ,” Mulcahy said . “ This is a second chance on living life , and there ’ s no obligation . What do you have to lose except your pain ?”
