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.

Conditions We Successfully Address

This specialized therapy is particularly effective for:

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Sciatica and radiating leg pain
  • Nerve compression syndromes
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Chronic lower back pain

Why Try Spinal Decompression at Houston Spinal Care?

  • Completely Non-Invasive and Pain-Free
  • Unlike surgical options, decompression therapy requires no incisions, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery periods. The treatment is gentle and comfortable throughout.
  • Addresses the Cause, Not Just Symptoms

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.

May Help You Avoid Surgery

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

You’ll lie comfortably on our specialized motorized decompression table while the system applies controlled, gentle traction to your spine. The treatment is so relaxing that many patients actually fall asleep during their sessions.

Each session typically lasts 15-30 minutes and is carefully customized to your specific condition and comfort level. Decompression therapy is usually part of a comprehensive treatment plan designed to maximize your healing potential.

The treatment protocols are based on extensive research and clinical experience, ensuring you receive the most effective care possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does spinal decompression hurt?

Not at all. The treatment is designed to be completely comfortable and pain-free. Most patients find it deeply relaxing—so much so that it’s common for people to nap during their sessions.

How soon will I start feeling better?

Response times vary by individual and condition severity. Some patients notice improvement after just 1-2 sessions, while others experience gradual improvement over 4-8 visits as their discs heal and inflammation reduces.

Can decompression help with my leg pain from sciatica?

Absolutely. By relieving pressure on compressed nerve roots, many patients experience significant reduction in radiating leg pain, numbness, and tingling. The therapy addresses sciatica at its source—the compressed nerve in your spine.
