Surgical Alternatives for Herniated Discs in Kearny Mesa CA: Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Are you struggling with debilitating back or neck pain caused by a herniated disc? If you’re considering surgery but want to explore non-invasive options first, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) might be the solution you’ve been searching for. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego in Kearny Mesa, we specialize in helping patients find long-term relief without the need for drugs, injections, or surgery.

What is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD)?

NSSD is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Utilizing the FDA-cleared DRX 9000 machine, this therapy gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure helps retract herniated or bulging disc material back into place while encouraging the flow of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the discs.

This rehydration process, known as spinal imbibition, is critical for repairing damaged discs and improving overall spinal health. By addressing the root cause of your pain, NSSD provides lasting relief for conditions like herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and more.

Why Choose NSSD at Our Kearny Mesa Office?

Not all spinal decompression treatments are created equal. The quality of the equipment, the protocols used, and the expertise of the provider make a significant difference in your results. Here’s why our Kearny Mesa office stands out:

The Importance of Combining Passive and Active Therapies

While NSSD is incredibly effective, it’s only part of the solution. To achieve long-term results, we combine passive therapy (spinal decompression) with active therapy, including:

• Spinal stabilization exercises: Strengthening the muscles that support your spine to prevent future injuries.
• Movement retraining: Teaching proper techniques for daily activities like getting in and out of a car or sitting at a desk.
• Postural correction: Addressing muscle imbalances and improving biomechanics to reduce strain on the spine.

This comprehensive approach ensures that your pain relief lasts and reduces the likelihood of recurring issues.

What Can You Do at Home to Help?

In addition to treatment, there are steps you can take at home to support your recovery:

• Stay Active: Gentle movement and walking can help improve circulation and reduce stiffness.
• Use Proper Ergonomics: Ensure your workstation is set up to support good posture.
• Stretch Regularly: Focus on stretching your hamstrings, hips, and lower back.
• Apply Ice or Heat: Ice can help reduce inflammation, while heat can relax tight muscles.
• Listen to Your Body: Avoid activities that worsen your pain and focus on ones that feel neutral or better.
