If you are looking for some help with a herniated disc, then you may want to consider reading on. We have been helping both local residents and out-of-town patients for the past 20 years avoid spinal injections and surgery.
Why Do Discs Herniate?
A herniated disc occurs when the outer layer of a spinal disc becomes damaged or weakened, allowing the inner gel-like material to protrude outward. This can result from wear and tear, poor posture, repetitive strain, sudden injury, or even genetic predisposition. When a disc herniates, it can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that often radiates into the arms or legs. Addressing the root cause of the issue is key to providing lasting relief.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy designed to relieve pressure on herniated discs and surrounding nerves. By gently stretching the spine, NSSD creates negative pressure within the affected disc, allowing it to retract and take pressure off pinched nerves. This process promotes the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the disc, encouraging healing and reducing inflammation. Patients often experience significant pain relief and improved mobility without the risks associated with surgery.
