Treatment
Herniated or Bulging Disc Therapy
Decompress the disc. Calm the inflammation. Stabilize the gains.
Bulging, herniated, and degenerative discs often respond to non-surgical care when the disc is actually unloaded — not just medicated. Our protocol uses computer-guided spinal decompression matched to your specific disc level, plus stabilization rehab to keep the disc from re-flaring.
How it works
The step-by-step protocol.
Disc-level diagnosis
Review imaging and exam findings to confirm the specific disc and stage before treatment begins.
Computer-guided decompression
Cycled, gentle traction designed to create negative pressure inside the disc and unload it.
Anti-inflammatory protocols
Calm the chemical irritation around the disc so the body can stop guarding.
Stabilization rehab
Build the core, hip, and postural patterns that keep the disc from re-loading.
