Disc Herniation Non-Surgical Treatments in San Diego, CA
If you are struggling with the debilitating pain of a disc herniation, you’re not alone. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in providing non-surgical spinal decompression therapy (NSSD) to help patients heal naturally and avoid invasive procedures.
Why Do Disc Herniations Occur?
A herniated disc happens when the soft, gel-like center of an intervertebral disc pushes through a crack in its tougher exterior. This often leads to compression of nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Common causes include:
- Poor posture
- Repetitive strain or improper lifting techniques
- Trauma or injuries (e.g., car accidents)
- Aging and disc degeneration
What Can You Do to Relieve Disc Pain at Home?
While professional treatment is often necessary, certain at-home strategies can help alleviate discomfort:
- Gentle stretching: Focus on low-impact stretches to maintain mobility without exacerbating pain.
- Ice/Heat therapy: Apply ice to reduce inflammation and switch to heat to relax muscles after 48 hours.
- Postural adjustments: Avoid prolonged sitting or standing and use ergonomic furniture.
- Core strengthening exercises: Strengthen the muscles that support your spine.
How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Help?
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy that targets the root cause of disc herniations. Using the DRX 9000, a cutting-edge decompression machine, this treatment:
- Gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure that pulls herniated disc material back into place.
- Enhances nutrient and oxygen flow to the affected area, accelerating the natural healing process.
- Provides lasting relief without the risks associated with surgery.
Why Specialized Treatment is Crucial
Disc herniations require precise and individualized care. A generic approach won’t address the unique needs of your spine. At our office, we tailor treatment plans that include:
- Passive therapy: NSSD and other modalities to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Active therapy: Strengthening and mobility exercises to stabilize the spine and prevent future issues.
