At Georgia Spinal Health & Wellness, we understand that your first visit is a significant step toward better health. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Bradley Hochman, D.C., a graduate of Life University and certified in physiotherapy, leads our team in providing expert chiropractic care focused on non-invasive, non-surgical spine and pain care tailored to your needs.
Our clinic specializes in non-surgical treatment of back, neck, and musculoskeletal conditions, ensuring you receive the best care possible from the moment you walk through our doors in Atlanta. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming atmosphere where patients can feel at ease while embarking on their health journey.
Our dedication to excellence in chiropractic care is reflected in our multidisciplinary treatment plans, which are designed to address not just the symptoms but the root causes of your discomfort. To make your first visit as smooth as possible, please bring any relevant medical records, a list of medications you are currently taking, and your insurance information.
In June 2015, I developed two herniated discs that caused sciatic pain to my right lower extremity. I had three epidural injections and several months of physiological therapeutics. However, the improvement was minimal and the pain was intolerable. I heard from several friends who had the same condition who experienced siginificant recovery with traction. I researched traction machines and I was referred to the state of the art new equipment IDD in Atlanta. I had 20 sessions of traction at Georgia Spinal Health & Wellness in Atlanta. My symptoms improved dramatically.
Medicare and other insurance companies compensate for epidural injections, physiological therapeutics, back surgery. However, they do not cover traction. From my experience and other friends who mentioned traction to me as a very effective option, I believe that insurance companies should cover traction therapy. Also, it is more economical than the other options, that, epidural injections, physiological therapeutics, and back surgery.
I am willing to share my experience with anyone who is interested.
What to Bring on Your First Visit to Our Clinic
Having these documents on hand will facilitate a thorough review of your health history and current health status. You can save time by printing and completing our New Patient Form before your appointment.
This form is designed to gather essential information about your medical history, lifestyle, and specific concerns, allowing us to customize our approach to your unique situation. If you have any previous imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRIs, please bring those as well, as they can provide valuable insights into your condition.

Expect to answer specific questions that will help us determine the most effective treatment plan. This may include inquiries about the nature of your pain, its duration, any previous treatments you have undergone, and how your condition affects your daily life.

Your Chiropractic Care Journey: What to Expect
Chiropractic care is not a single event — it is a structured process that progresses through three stages, each building on the last.
Relief Care is where most patients begin. The primary goal is to reduce your pain and discomfort as quickly and safely as possible. Visits are more frequent during this phase as we work to restore alignment and relieve nerve pressure.
Corrective Care begins once your acute symptoms are under control. Here we focus on rehabilitating the injured or damaged tissues that were contributing to your condition, gradually reducing visit frequency as your body heals. Targeted exercises and physiological therapeutics often support this phase.
Wellness Care is optional ongoing care — periodic spinal checkups that help prevent recurrence, support healthy aging, and catch new issues before they become serious. Think of it like routine dental visits: not because something is wrong, but to keep it that way.
Not every patient needs all three stages, and the length of each phase varies from person to person. What stays consistent is our commitment to transparent communication and care that is always built around your individual goals.
