Lumbar Decompression for Herniated Discs in Houston
Gentle Relief for Disc-Related Pain
If you’re living with chronic lower back pain, sciatica, or disc bulges, it can feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of discomfort and limitation. Every movement becomes a reminder that your body isn’t functioning the way it used to. If you’ve been told surgery is your only option, we offer a safe, non-invasive alternative: lumbar decompression therapy.
This technique offers a targeted approach to disc issues—without the need for injections, hospital visits, or extended downtime. By gently relieving pressure on your spine, this modality supports the healing process and helps restore comfort and mobility.
How Spinal Decompression Supports Recovery
During this process, a specialized motorised table is used to create controlled traction. This gentle stretching and releasing motion generates negative pressure inside the spine, which helps retract bulging or herniated disc material and reduces irritation of nearby nerves.
Common conditions that respond well include:
- Herniated or bulging lumbar discs
- Sciatica and nerve root irritation
- Chronic lower back pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis
Comfortable Sessions With Noticeable Results
After a thorough spinal evaluation, we’ll determine if this therapy is the right fit for you. If so, you’ll lie comfortably on the decompression table while the system applies gentle, computer-guided traction to your lower back.
Each session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a light stretch, never painful, just relieving. Depending on your case, we may recommend two to three sessions per week initially, with a gradual tapering as your symptoms improve.
To support long-term results, your care plan may also include rehab exercises, cold laser therapy, or lifestyle coaching to address posture and core strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I feel the table pulling?
With consistent care and support for spinal alignment and core stability, many patients report lasting relief. Some choose periodic maintenance to help prevent future issues.
What makes this different from regular traction or inversion tables?
Unlike passive stretching, decompression is computer-controlled and specifically calibrated to your body’s needs. It’s safer, more targeted, and often more effective than DIY methods.
