If you’ve been Told You Need Back Surgery by an orthopedic surgeon for a herniated or bulging disc, you may be wondering if there are any non-surgical options that could work. While medications, physical therapy, and inversion tables may help to ease pain or reduce pressure on the disc, spinal decompression is a treatment that offers something unique. Spinal decompression therapy is the only technique clinically proven to create negative pressures as low as -110 mm Hg within the injured disc, helping to promote healing and relieve pressure.
Typically, pulls exerted on the spine activate sensory receptors in the back, causing muscles around the vertebrae and discs to tighten as a protective mechanism—this is known as the proprioceptor response. It often results in muscle guarding and spasms. Spinal decompression, however, bypasses this response by gently and slowly pulling on the spine, allowing the back to relax over time. This careful, controlled procedure enables the discs to reposition without causing muscle guarding or spasms.
The outcome is clear: reduction or complete elimination of nerve pressure, no local or radiating pain, increased flexibility, and a return to more freedom of movement.
