Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment in Mira Mesa, CA – Fast Back Pain Relief Without Surgery

If you're dealing with Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) and suffering from constant or recurring back pain, stiffness, or nerve pain, you're not alone — and you don't have to live that way.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, located near Mira Mesa, we help patients get fast, long-lasting relief from degenerative disc issues — without surgery, injections, or medications. Many of our patients find us after months (or even years) of failed treatments — and finally start to feel real progress, often within just a few sessions.

✅ What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative Disc Disease is a condition where the soft discs between your vertebrae begin to wear down, flatten, or dry out. These discs act as your spine’s shock absorbers — and when they begin to break down, the bones in your spine come closer together, nerves get irritated, and pain can set in.

This can lead to:

• Chronic or sharp lower back pain

• Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or activity

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs

• Radiating pain into the hips, glutes, or thighs

• Spinal stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest

🧠 Why Does DDD Happen?

Degenerative disc disease is typically caused by:

• Aging – Disc dehydration and shrinkage over time

• Repetitive stress – Sitting too long, lifting improperly, bad posture

• Injury – Auto accidents, sports injuries, falls

• Poor circulation and inflammation – From smoking, dehydration, or an acidic diet

• Genetic predisposition – Some people are more prone to early disc degeneration

Once the disc starts to deteriorate, it often continues to worsen unless the pressure is relieved and the disc is rehydrated.

🏠 What You Can Do at Home

To support your spine and reduce DDD-related back pain at home:

• 💧 Stay Hydrated – Your spinal discs need water to stay plump and absorb shock

• 🧘 Gentle Movement – Walking, light stretching, and mobility work are essential

• 🪑 Improve Posture – Avoid prolonged sitting or slouching

• ❄️ Use Ice or Heat – Ice for inflammation, heat for stiffness

• 🥬 Eat an Alkaline-Friendly Diet – Reduce acidic foods that inflame your discs (processed foods, sugar, soda, alcohol)

• 🚭 Avoid Smoking/Vaping – These are highly acidic and dehydrate the discs further

These steps help, but they don’t reverse the disc compression. That’s where advanced care comes in.

💡 How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Helps

At our clinic, we use the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 spinal decompression system — the most advanced and researched-backed decompression machine available.

This therapy gently stretches your spine and creates negative pressure inside the disc, allowing:

• Herniated or bulging disc material to retract off nerves

• Increased blood flow, hydration, and oxygen to the disc

• Restoration of disc height and space

• Relief of nerve compression and inflammation

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is safe, comfortable, and effective. There’s no downtime, no recovery, and no risk of surgery.

Our clinic is the largest known provider of NSSD in California, with 7 DRX 9000 machines and over 50,000 decompression sessions performed.
