Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression at Comprehensive Spinal Care in San Diego, CA

Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical, drug-free procedure that effectively treats herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, radiating nerve pain or numbness to legs or arms, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc, and facet syndrome. Our office uses the DOC spinal decompression system, one of the leading companies in spinal decompression therapy.

How spinal decompression works

The DOC spinal decompression system works on injuries that happen due to nerve compression from the spine or vertebral disc. By applying an equal amount of pressure on the vertebrae, by stretching the spine, the therapy creates a vacuum in between the discs, which improves the flow of nutrients to the disc to aid in healing. Disc injuries, when treated with spinal decompression will heal slowly and steadily based on the treatment plan recommended by our doctor.

It’s difficult for intervertebral discs to heal when they are constantly under pressure – even when the body is resting. However, with DOC Decompression, the pressure inside the discs can be reduced by gently separating or distracting the injured spinal segments.
Pressure on the disc may be relieved when distracted; this allows fluids, nutrients, and oxygen to flow back into the disc. This process helps the body’s natural rebuilding process and can help accelerate the repair of damaged spinal discs.
​
In addition, a reduction of intradiscal pressures may help draw the nucleus of a bulging or herniated disc back into the center, thereby relieving pressure on a compressed nerve root—alleviating the problem and the pain or numbness.
