Severe Low Back Pain Solutions in San Diego, CA

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works So Well for Disc-Related Pain

Severe low back pain can be debilitating—impacting everything from your ability to walk, sit, or sleep, to your ability to enjoy time with family or work without discomfort. While low back pain can stem from a variety of causes, a large number of severe cases are the result of disc-related issues, often overlooked or mistreated by traditional approaches.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we focus on identifying and treating the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. For many patients, that means addressing the spinal discs directly—and that’s exactly what our advanced Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) therapy does.

💥 What Causes Severe Low Back Pain?

Many people assume back pain comes from muscle strain or poor posture alone. However, in a significant number of severe cases, the pain is due to a compressed or damaged spinal disc.

Your spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) separated by soft, gel-filled discs that act as shock absorbers. When these discs become compressed, bulged, or herniated—often due to gravity, poor body mechanics, aging, or injury—they can press on nearby nerves. This compression can cause sharp, burning, radiating, or even constant low back pain.

✅ Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Works So Well

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) is one of the few treatments that actually targets and treats the source of disc-related pain.

By gently and precisely creating negative pressure within the disc, decompression therapy allows:

• Herniated or bulging discs to retract

• Pressure on nerves to decrease

• Blood, oxygen, and nutrients to re-enter the disc space

• The body’s natural healing process to begin

Unlike pain medications or injections, which only mask symptoms, NSSD works to reverse the actual cause of the pain—restoring spinal function and relieving pressure long term.

🔬 Why We Only Use DRX9000 Decompression Machines

Not all decompression is created equal. At our clinic, we exclusively use the DRX9000 system, which is considered the gold standard in spinal decompression technology.

Here’s why:

• FDA-cleared for spinal decompression

• Backed by research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic

• Allows for highly customized settings based on your specific disc level and body structure

• Designed to deliver consistent, measurable results with maximum safety and comfort

Other traction or decompression tables simply can’t replicate the precision or effectiveness of the DRX9000, which is why we’ve invested in 7 DRX9000 machines—making our office the largest known provider of NSSD in California.
