NSSD, Non Surgical Spinal Decompression is a highly effective and comfortable treatment, that gets right to the source of pain with a herniated disc. 

herniated disc can occur for a variety of reasons such as poor posture, poor body mechanics, biomechanics, how you move your badly day in and day out, excessive siting, improper lifting techniques, work and sports injuries. The pain can be debilitating and exhausting causing anger, frustration, depression and alienating you from friends and family. 

Traditional medical procedures are limited and in many cases will not resolve a herniated disc as protocols are limited and not through enough in most cases as well as not specific or individualized to attain lasting pain relief. 

Disc herniations typically occur when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in its tougher outer shell. This can irritate nearby nerves and lead to symptoms such as:

• Sharp, radiating pain down the arms or legs
• Numbness or tingling
• Muscle weakness
• Chronic back or neck pain

Common causes include poor posture, age-related disc degeneration, improper lifting techniques, or repetitive strain. In some cases, trauma like auto accidents or sports injuries can accelerate disc damage.

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works So Well

At our clinic, we exclusively use the DRX9000—a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared decompression system backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic.

Here’s why it works:

• Creates negative intradiscal pressure, allowing herniated or bulging material to retract
• Encourages oxygen, water, and nutrient flow into the disc for healing
• Gently decompresses the spine without forceful traction or strain

Most patients feel relief within the first few weeks, while lasting changes happen over a properly structured protocol tailored to their specific disc injury.

Other Conditions We Treat with NSSD

While NSSD is highly effective for disc herniations, it also works well for:

• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Sciatica and nerve compression
• Spinal stenosis
• Facet joint syndrome
• Failed back surgery (non-fused)
• Chronic neck and lower back pain
