Spinal Decompression Treatments in San Diego, CA

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)—a highly targeted, research-supported treatment method that helps patients find long-lasting relief from disc-related spinal conditions. Using advanced technology and customized protocols, we’ve helped thousands of patients avoid invasive surgery, eliminate chronic pain, and return to the life they love.

What Conditions Can NSSD Help With?

While not every condition qualifies, NSSD is FDA-cleared and highly effective for a number of specific disc-related problems. At our clinic, we use Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression to treat:

• Disc bulges

• Disc herniations

• Degenerative disc disease (DDD)

• Sciatica (when disc-related)

• Facet syndrome

• Chronic lower back or neck pain caused by disc compression

• Failed back surgery syndrome (non-fusion cases only)

Note: We do not use NSSD for spinal stenosis or foraminal stenosis at this time, as these conditions are not yet FDA-cleared for decompression treatment.

How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal decompression therapy works by gently and precisely stretching the spine using advanced motorized traction. This creates negative pressure within the spinal discs, allowing:

• Bulging or herniated discs to retract and relieve pressure off spinal nerves

• Increased circulation of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the discs

• Acceleration of the natural healing process within the disc tissue

Unlike generic traction or inversion tables, true NSSD provides controlled, measurable decompression forces with customized protocols for each patient based on their unique spinal measurements and condition severity.

Why We Use the DRX9000 – The Gold Standard in Decompression

At our San Diego clinic, we exclusively use the DRX9000 system—widely considered the most advanced and research-backed spinal decompression technology available. The DRX9000 has been clinically studied and validated by Stanford University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic, among others. It allows us to:

• Precisely target specific spinal segments

• Customize decompression angles based on spinal curve and injury location

• Deliver consistent and repeatable treatment outcomes

• Achieve superior patient comfort and results

This level of accuracy simply cannot be matched by older or off-brand decompression machines.
