Up until recently, lumbar disc decompression referred to a surgical procedure whereby part of the spine was cut-out to remove pressure off the spinal cord or lumbar nerve roots.

Now, the lumbar disc decompression or spinal disc decompression terms refer to procedures that can be either surgical or nonsurgical.

At the Vancouver Spinal Decompression Center, we perform the nonsurgical spinal decompression using a spinal decompression machine. This machine was designed and built to treat neurovascular compression syndromes such as herniated discs, bulging discs, facet syndrome, and disc degeneration….without surgery (watch this spinal decompression introduction video).

Nonsurgical disc decompression helps many patients avoid back surgery, but you have to qualify medically (How does spinal decompression work?).

If you do qualify for non-surgical disc decompression then there is a very good chance it will help you.

Will you get completely better? Sometimes…but in most cases you simply become much better than you were. It just depends what we are starting with, your age, your over-all physical condition, how much spinal degeneration there is, how many disc herniations you have,  and your level of commitment to get better. 

Nonsurgical spinal decompression is helping thousands of patients every day return to more normal lives and avoid surgery. And the only way to find out if it will work for YOU is to try it (but you must qualify).

Either spinal disc decompression works (which is most likely) or it doesn’t. We don’t cut anything out or inject anything in (to your body). If decompression therapy does not work you are still left whole, and you can pursue other options.

If you have certain kinds of back surgery such as a surgical fusion, you are disqualified from ever trying nonsurgical spinal decompression. It’s something to think about.

 If you have a condition such as a herniated lumbar disc, bulging disc, spinal stenosis, degenerated disc, facet syndrome, sciatica, back pain, leg pain…or any other lumbar spine disorder that is not responding to conventional back pain therapies, non-surgical disc decompression is worth a look. You can always have surgery. But if you have surgery….you may not be able to try nonsurgical spinal decompression…ever.
