Understanding Disc Herniation and How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Provides Effective Relief

Disc herniation is a common condition that can cause significant pain and discomfort. But how does a disc herniate in the first place, and what are the risk factors? More importantly, how can Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) offer effective treatment for this condition? Let's delve into these questions and explore why Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC is a trusted expert in this field.

How Does a Disc Herniate?
A disc herniation occurs when the inner gel-like core of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer, leading to irritation or compression of nearby nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected area.

Risk Factors for Disc Herniation
Several risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing a herniated disc, including:

Age: As we age, discs lose water content and become less flexible, making them more prone to tearing or rupturing.
Weight: Excess body weight puts additional stress on the spinal discs.
Occupation: Jobs that involve heavy lifting, bending, or twisting can increase the risk of disc herniation.
Genetics: A family history of disc problems can make you more susceptible.
Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of exercise can lead to weak muscles that support the spine, increasing the risk of injury.
Why NSSD Treats the Exact Cause of Disc Herniations
NSSD targets the root cause of disc herniations by gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This allows the herniated material to retract, relieving pressure on the nerves and promoting healing. The DRX 9000 machines we use at The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego are the highest quality True NSSD machines available today, ensuring precise and effective treatment.
