Lumbar Decompression at Houston Spinal Care
Gentle Relief for Disc Problems
Herniated discs can make every aspect of daily life challenging—from sitting at your desk to getting a good night’s sleep. The constant pain, numbness, and movement limitations can feel overwhelming. Lumbar decompression therapy offers a gentle, non-surgical solution to relieve pressure and restore the freedom of movement you’ve been missing.
At Houston Spinal Care, we understand that disc problems often don’t respond well to traditional treatments. That’s why we offer this specialized therapy that works with your spine’s natural structure to promote healing and provide lasting relief.
What Is Lumbar Decompression?
Lumbar decompression therapy involves the gentle stretching of your spine using precise, computer-controlled traction. This therapeutic process creates space between your vertebrae, allowing compressed discs to decompress and begin their natural healing process.
The treatment works by reducing pressure on your discs and the surrounding nerves while promoting the rehydration of damaged disc material. It’s like giving your spine the space it needs to breathe and heal properly.

Rather than simply masking your pain, decompression therapy works to correct the underlying disc problem causing your symptoms. We’re focused on real healing, not temporary relief.

Many patients have successfully avoided surgical intervention through consistent decompression therapy. When conservative care has failed, this treatment often provides the breakthrough needed.
What to Expect During Your Session
