Non-Surgical Care for Lower Back & Disc Pain

{PRACTICE NAME} is proud of offer Spinal Decompression Therapy

Back pain has a way of interfering with nearly everything—standing too long, bending over, getting out of bed, or even enjoying your favorite activities. For many, the source of this discomfort traces back to the discs in the spine. If you’ve been told that surgery is your only option, you may be surprised to learn that natural, non-surgical care can often provide lasting relief.

At Lake Orion Disc and Nerve Center, we help people with lower back pain, sciatica, and disc-related conditions find comfort without relying on medication or invasive procedures. There is hope, whether your symptoms are new or have been with you for years.

Why Disc Problems Hurt So Much

Your spine is made up of small bones called vertebrae, separated by discs that act like cushions. These discs give your spine flexibility and help absorb shock as you move. But they can press on nearby nerves when they wear down, become injured, or shift out of place, leading to symptoms like lower back pain, sciatica, or stiffness.

Conditions like herniated or bulging discs happen when the soft inner portion of a disc pushes through its tougher outer layer, irritating the surrounding nerves. Degenerative disc disease can cause those same discs to dry out and wear thin, leading to chronic discomfort. Disc problems sometimes trigger sciatica, a radiating pain that travels from the lower back down through the hips, legs, and even feet.

While many treatments might focus on short-term relief, lasting results often require reducing pressure on the discs and supporting natural healing.

How Spinal Decompression Can Help

Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, controlled way to relieve pressure inside the spine without surgery. During this therapy, you’ll lie on a comfortable, motorized table while a computer-guided system gently stretches and relaxes your spine in cycles. This process creates a natural vacuum effect inside the discs, helping to:

  • Ease pressure on pinched or irritated nerves
  • Encourage discs to retract and reposition
  • Improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to the injured area
  • Support disc hydration and repair

Unlike traditional traction, decompression therapy cycles between gentle pulling and relaxation, preventing muscles from tightening up and allowing the treatment to be more efficient.

Spinal Decompression FAQs

What conditions can spinal decompression treat?

Spinal decompression can help with conditions like herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and chronic lower back or neck pain. It works by relieving pressure on the spine and improving circulation to damaged areas.

How long does spinal decompression take to work?

Many patients experience relief after just a few sessions, but optimal results typically require a series of treatments over several weeks. The timeline varies based on the severity of the condition and individual response to care.

Is spinal decompression painful?

No, spinal decompression is generally painless. Most patients find it relaxing, though some may feel mild stretching or soreness as their spine adjusts to treatment.

How often should you do spinal decompression?

Treatment frequency depends on your condition, but most plans involve multiple sessions per week for the first few weeks, followed by a gradual reduction as improvement occurs. Dr. Frank will recommend a personalized plan specific to your needs.

Can spinal decompression help with sciatica?

Yes, spinal decompression can relieve sciatic nerve pain by reducing pressure on herniated discs or compressed nerves, helping restore mobility and comfort.
