Fast Herniated Disk Pain Relief in San Diego, CA
What Is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc, sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through a crack or tear in the outer shell. This can result in compression of nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the neck, lower back, arms, or legs. One of the most common symptoms is sciatica, which often radiates down one leg from the lower back.
How Does It Happen?
Herniated discs can result from various causes, including:
-
Repetitive motion and poor body mechanics
-
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
-
Improper lifting
-
Spinal degeneration due to aging
-
Accidents, trauma, or sports injuries
Sometimes a disc can herniate from something as simple as bending over or twisting while lifting a light object. Over time, spinal wear-and-tear increases vulnerability, especially if proper spinal support and mobility are lacking.
At-Home Tips to Support Healing
While professional care is often necessary for significant disc injuries, there are a few steps individuals can take on their own:
-
💧 Stay well-hydrated to nourish spinal discs
-
🚶 Walk regularly to maintain mobility without aggravation
-
🪑 Avoid prolonged sitting or use lumbar support when seated
-
❄️ Apply ice or heat based on whether inflammation or stiffness is present
-
🧘 Gentle stretching and posture correction can help avoid worsening symptoms
-
🛌 Use a supportive mattress and avoid positions that increase spinal stress
These actions may help reduce discomfort and protect the spine while seeking further care.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Is So Effective
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is a specialized, FDA-cleared treatment designed to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, only DRX9000 spinal decompression machines are used—the gold standard in the industry.
Unlike traction or inversion tables, the DRX9000 uses advanced computerized technology to gently separate spinal segments and create negative intradiscal pressure. This process:
-
Helps retract disc material away from the nerves
-
Rehydrates discs and improves nutrient exchange
-
Reduces inflammation and promotes natural healing
-
Is comfortable, safe, and requires no downtime
Backed by studies from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic, the DRX9000 has shown measurable results, including reductions in disc herniations on MRI and improvements in disc height.
