This therapy is commonly used to help reduce back pain, decrease stiffness, and improve spinal range of motion by promoting movement through the spinal joints.
At our Tallahassee chiropractic clinic, intersegmental traction therapy is used as part of a broader treatment approach based on each patient’s condition.

I just called to make an appointment and I have to give kudos to Giavanna. It's hard to find good customer service these days, and she definitely reminded me there are still kind people in the world. Thanks for giving a great first impression Giavanna!
Within the first few visits I have had major improvement with my upper cervical stability! The entire staff are professional and friendly and make you feel welcomed and seen. You don’t just feel like another “patient” but part of the practice. You can tell you are cared for. I would highly recommend Tallahassee Spinal Care to anyone!
I’ve been receiving decompression treatments for over 2 years. My initial complaint was about legs hurting 24/7 and I couldn’t straighten upright. My legs today and 95% better. No more restless legs at night. I’m maintaining a better well being with monthly treatments. It feels good to stand tall and get a good stretch in.
Very happy I scheduled the consultation. The staff is awesome, friendly and very helpful. Have been dealing with back pain for years that has been dictating my day to day. Halfway thru treatment and already see an enormous improvement. Can’t recommend enough!
The former owner is a customer of mine. After my 4th car accident he told me my body was damaged along with my car. He also said Dr. Wainwright is great. I totally believe him now! I didn't feel any pain, but after visiting TSC, I saw how my body wasn't in as good of shape as I thought. I'm not finished yet, but I notice how much better I feel and am glad I went. On top of Dr. Wainwright's wonderful abilities, he is very helpful, caring, friendly and professional. Everyone in the office is also. They have a holistic approach to helping patients that the American medical establishment and insurance industry could learn a lot from. They fix the problem vs prescribing drugs to mask the symptoms. Worth every penny!
Before coming to Tallahassee Spinal Care I felt I was walking like I’d had a stroke . My gait n back were very messed up . Since coming my gait and back have felt so much stronger & back in alignment!!! The staff are extremely professional & pleasant and encouraging !! I’d highly recommend coming here with all your Chiropractor needs !!!
TSCC has been so good for my recovery from the intense pain that I've been experiencing. The treatment has been gentle but affective. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend this care for anyone who is having back pain or issues.
My Experience was very pleasant!<br>It’s an Extremely welcoming office and Personel!<br>…And Dr. Levi was very thorough and answered all questions that I needed answered! Great NUCCA adjustment! 👍🏼
A year ago, I began experiencing a myriad of symptoms, including disequilibrium (vertigo), brain fog, debilitating fatigue, neck stiffness, anxiety, and hallmark symptoms of dysautonomia. Despite seeking traditional medical counsel numerous times, the general consensus was that I had anxiety and minor wear and tear in my neck, and I was unceremoniously dismissed.<br><br>Then one fortuitous day, a Facebook ad appeared on my feed, and it felt as though it had been written specifically for me. That ad eventually led me to Tallahassee Spinal Care, where I booked a consultation and learned about a modality of upper cervical chiropractic care called NUCCA.<br><br>Admittedly, I had read the horror stories about neck adjustments and went into the consultation with reservations and skepticism at the forefront. However, throughout my consultation with Dr. Wainwright, his ability to articulate what was happening to me, anticipate my next questions, and dispel the myths surrounding neck adjustments instilled confidence in his knowledge, his experience with cases similar to mine, and his ability to devise a treatment plan that would set me on the path to recovery.<br><br>When my first adjustment took place, it was so minimal in force and so precise that it felt as though nothing had actually happened!! But when I sat up from the adjustment table and the noise of all my symptoms quieted for the first time in months, I knew I had made the right decision.<br><br>Over the last five months, I have gotten my life back, and my neurological symptoms have improved drastically. Keep in mind that recovery is rarely a linear process, and I have encountered many bumps in the road. However, Dr. Wainwright has been there every step of the way to help me pivot, overcome those obstacles, and continue moving forward.<br><br>Additionally, doing your assigned “homework” is paramount to success in recovery, and your treatment plan is tailored so that this homework meets your individual needs.<br><br>I would also be remiss if I did not mention the amazing support staff, who are truly paramount to the success of this practice. Customer service matters, and the team here makes an enormous difference. The two staff members I have worked with most, and who have made this experience stellar, are Emma and Simona.<br><br>Emma always has a smile on her face when you walk in, immediately making you feel welcome. She brings a genuine sense of kindness to every interaction, paired with a sense of humor that can turn even a bad recovery day into something more manageable. She is incredibly efficient in preparing any required documentation and makes that process feel seamless and effortless. Beyond that, she is always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate scheduling needs, working with patients in a way that feels both supportive and understanding.<br><br>Simona, who is stationed in the rehabilitation area, is incredibly compassionate with her patients. She explains everything thoroughly, remembers details from every conversation, and consistently shows how much she cares. Her warm personality and great laugh put patients immediately at ease. She is attentive, kind, and always makes sure you are comfortable throughout treatment.<br><br>If you’re even considering chiropractic care at Tallahassee Spinal Care, take that step and schedule a consultation! It could truly make a difference in the quality of your life, and you won’t regret it.
The experience and care by Doctor Wainwright and his staff have been excellent. Always friendly, caring and helpful. Strongly recommend them to anyone requiring spinal care.
I visited this office from a Facebook ad. I was hurting with neck and lower back pain from an accident from 10 years ago they left me twisted and in constant pain. I was treated with pain pills but not much treatment.<br>It changed when I started treatment here. They identified the problem and created a treatment plan for correction. Ms. Emma keeps me on track with appointments. Ms. Samona is very pleasant and assures comfort. I’ve been a patient for 2 months and I feel good. No procedure is painful. I will continue to my treatments here as I haven’t experienced this much progress anywhere else. I look forward to full correction and a life with no pain pills. -I only foresee that happening with treatments from here and this team.<br><br>-Thank you all
The staff at Dr. Wainwright are extremely helpful and keep you updated. My improvement has been very noticeable . Highly recommend Dr. Wainwright he is up front about if you are someone he can help or not.
Before I started going here I was in so much pain for over 2 years and no other places could help me but after going here consistently I have finally felt so much better. 10/10 recommend all the staff is amazing and so sweet!
Tallahassee Spinal Care is a top notch business with top notch staff!! Dr. Wainwright is very professional and personable. He takes his time and ensures that you have a full understanding of your physical ailments and the treatment plan to correct the problem. His staff is the best! They are very pleasant and friendly, always making sure you are comfortable. So much that you look forward to your next visit! Thank you all!
Staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I came in with a lot of issues that I couldn’t diagnose myself and the team walked me through each step as well as created me a plan to ensure I was properly taken care of.
I've had chronic pain from car accidents and degeneration since 1998. I've had Chiropractic care, epidurals and RFAs over many years. I made an appointment with Tallahassee Spinal Care, and got my life back. Thank you Dr Wainwright for your exceptional care and superior staff.
I have had a great experience with Tallahassee Spinal Care. The decompression therapy has helped relieve pain and discomfort. I have seen real improvement since starting care here and always leave feeling better than when I come in. Dr. Wainwright is very knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to explain what's going on instead of rushing through appointments. The whole staff is always friendly and outgoing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality spinal and decompression care.
I came to Tallahassee Spinal Care and the bottom of 2025 Seeking diagnosis and treatment for pain in my legs and feet. The protocol they recommended was expensive and not covered by Medicare, and I was skeptical, but desperate. I am happy to relate that, while progress has been slow and time Intensive, I am healing and I am feeling significant improvement in four months. I hope to achieve full remission for my neuropathy, which conventional medicine gave me no real hope of curing.
When I first started treatment at Tallahassee Spinal Care, I was walking with a cane. Although, I was going to Physical Therapy first., I wanted to see could the chiropractic get me back walking without the cane faster. I am very pleased that back surgery didn't have to ne the option.. Decompression treatment have been wonderful for me.
Dr. Wainwright and Dr. Ramos truly care about what they do. I was in agony from issues other doctors had failed to asess, they got imaging done same day and was able to get so much relief and peace of mind from treatments. They also are very accommodating with scheduling and payment preferences. Cannot recommend more highly.
I went to Tallahassee Spinal Care because of constant back and neck pain. An MRI showed I have several lumbar and cervical issues. I began a treatment plan with Dr. Wainwright and his crew doing decompression for my spine in October. I have seen definite improvement throughout my treatment. The daily constant pain is gone and I have better overall mobility. I am so grateful for this outcome and appreciate Dr. Wainwright and his staff!!
My experience at Tallahassee Spinal Care has been nothing short of amazing thus far. I was definitely skeptical about the unorthodox approach to back and spinal care, but so far I have no complaints. My treatments have drastically lessened my pain and I’m hopeful once I’m finished with my therapy I’ll be completely pain free of back pain for life.<br>Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I’m just in the beginning stages of recovery. But if my treatment continues to progress the way it has, this place needs 10 stars. No surgery, no prescriptions. Amazing staff. TBD
Back pain? This therapy has been the best thing I’ve ever done to help with my back pain (I was misaligned, from my neck down). Dr. Wainwright and his staff have and are continuing to help me get realigned! I am very grateful for all they have done thus far and I would highly recommend them!
I had suffered 2 lower back disc herniations that resulted in nerve pain radiating down my left leg. After attempting to do physical therapy, where a therapist had pulled on my hip making my pain substantially worse all over my lower back and leg that caused my spine to go severely crooked while still experiencing sciatica. And I could barely walk then seeking out evaluation from a neurosurgeon and steroid shots. I then decided to go to Tallahassee Spine Care. At this point I halfway through my full treatment, but I have already made incredible progress! My spine is almost back straight and all of my sciatica pain in my leg is gone.<br>Dr. Wainwright and his amazing staff are incredibly kind and truly care about their patients and helping them back to a normal pain free life. I am so lucky to have met them and been able to get their treatment. After suffering for so long, I finally feel excited about my future again. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. :)
The doctor the staff,They're all amazing, They treat you like you should be treated like a person in need of care. They put your feelings first. The only problem I have is that I live 3 hours away so doing the ride home. Kinda undoes what I need done, but please. If you get a chance, please check them out. You won't be disappointed.
I went in to see Dr. Wainwright for a back rib that occasionally pops out and causes pressure on my lung. He adjusted my neck and amazingly the rib also went back into alignment. I feel much better . Thank you !

Dr. Wainwright & Team are excellent. I went in for chronic sciatica and lower back pain after two chiropractors and sports medicine didn't help. The treatment I was provided has finally brought lasting relief. Emma at the front desk is always so nice and helpful. Thank you all!
I absolutely love TSC!<br>They ALWAYS have my preferred appointment time available, even for emergencies. Everyone is extremely nice and very easy to talk to; they genuinely feel like family.
