Avoid Surgery. Get Results. Start Healing Today.

If you’re suffering from a slipped disc, also known as a herniated or bulging disc, you already know how debilitating it can be. Whether you're dealing with sharp, shooting sciatica pain or deep, aching lower back discomfort, the impact on your life can be overwhelming. Simple activities like sitting, walking, or sleeping become major challenges.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in fast, effective, and non-surgical relief from disc injuries—with zero downtime and long-lasting results.


What Is a Slipped Disc, Really?

A “slipped disc” is a common term for a herniated or bulging disc—a condition where one of the soft, cushioning discs between your spinal bones becomes damaged and pushes out of its normal space. This pressure can irritate nearby nerves, leading to:


How Does It Happen?

Slipped discs often result from:

Even minor movements or daily wear and tear can lead to disc issues if spinal alignment and muscle balance aren’t optimal.


Why Does It Hurt So Much?

When a disc bulges or herniates, it can press on sensitive spinal nerves. That nerve pressure is what causes the intense, radiating pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness many patients experience.


What Can You Do On Your Own?

While there are some things you can try at home to reduce inflammation and pain:

…but for many people, these approaches only bring temporary relief. They don’t correct the underlying disc compression or nerve impingement causing your symptoms.


Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works So Well

This is where Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) comes in.

Using the FDA-cleared DRX9000 system, this treatment gently and precisely decompresses the spine, relieving pressure on the discs and nerves. Backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic, it helps the disc rehydrate, reposition, and heal—naturally.

Unlike painkillers, injections, or risky surgeries, NSSD targets the actual root cause of the pain rather than just masking symptoms.


The Importance of Specific and Specialized Treatment

At our San Diego clinic, every patient receives:

This active + passive approach is key to getting patients back to doing what they love—without recurring flare-ups.
