Herniated Discs – Non-Surgical Treatments in San Diego, CA
Dealing with a herniated disc can be one of the most frustrating and debilitating spinal conditions—often affecting everything from sleep to work to enjoying life with family and friends. If you're looking for non-surgical herniated disc treatment options in San Diego, you're not alone. Thousands of people each year turn to Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) as a safe, drug-free, and highly effective way to find lasting relief—especially under the guidance of experts who know exactly how and when to use it.
Why Do We Get Herniated Discs?
Herniated discs, also known as slipped or ruptured discs, occur when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes out through a tear in the tough outer layer. This can press on spinal nerves and lead to:
-
Sharp or burning back or neck pain
-
Sciatica (pain radiating into the leg)
-
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs
-
Difficulty sitting, walking, or standing for long
Common causes include poor posture, repetitive strain, improper lifting, auto accidents, spinal degeneration, and even stress-induced tension.
What Can You Do at Home to Ease Herniated Disc Pain?
While professional care is critical, some steps can help manage symptoms at home:
-
Ice and heat therapy to reduce inflammation and relax muscles
-
Short walks or gentle movement to keep circulation flowing
-
Core stability and mobility exercises (under professional guidance)
-
Posture awareness—especially during sitting and lifting
-
Temporary avoidance of high-impact activity or poor sleep positions
However, home care alone often isn’t enough to correct the root problem: spinal disc compression and nerve irritation.
Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well
At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we use only the most advanced FDA-cleared decompression machines—the DRX9000—which have been clinically researched and shown to be highly effective by leading institutions like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression gently and precisely stretches the spine in a way that creates negative pressure within the disc. This helps:
-
Pull herniated material back toward the disc center
-
Relieve nerve pressure
-
Restore fluid and nutrients back into the disc space
-
Create the ideal environment for natural healing
