Non-Surgical Disc Care

Spinal Decompression Therapy in Round Rock.

Most herniated and bulging discs don't need surgery. Our motorized decompression protocol gently retracts disc material and takes pressure off nerves - so you can skip the operating room and get back to your life.

What You Get

What Decompression Care Includes.

Spinal decompression is a specific protocol - not "just traction." A controlled, computer-driven cycle of pull and release creates negative pressure inside the disc space, which helps retract herniated material and draws water and nutrients back into the disc. Over a course of sessions, the disc can actually heal.

  • Full diagnostic workup. Exam, imaging review (bring your MRI or CT), and candidacy screening to confirm you're a good fit.
  • Customized decompression protocol. Target vertebral level, precise pull angles, and force calibrated to your specific injury.
  • Each session: 15–25 minutes on the decompression table. Comfortable, supervised, no anesthesia, no recovery time.
  • Complementary therapy. Low-level laser, electric stim, and ice/heat applied alongside decompression to reduce inflammation and support tissue healing.
  • Core rehab program. Progressive spinal stabilization exercises to support the healed disc and prevent recurrence.

Why Decompression Works.

A disc herniation happens when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through the tough outer ring, often pressing on a nerve root. Rest alone rarely resolves it - the disc material tends to stay where it is or migrate further. Surgery (microdiscectomy, fusion) works but carries real risk and a long recovery.

Decompression sits in the middle: non-invasive, specifically targeted, and strong clinical evidence for both herniated and bulging discs. Most candidates see meaningful reduction in pain and radiculopathy within 2–3 weeks, and full resolution in 6–10 weeks.

  • No drugs, no injections, no surgery.
  • High success rate for appropriate candidates. We screen carefully - decompression works when it's the right fit, and we'll tell you honestly if you need a different intervention.
  • Returns to work/life possible throughout. Unlike surgery, there's no downtime between sessions.

Our Process.

  1. Free consultation with MRI/imaging review.
  2. Candidacy exam. Neurological screening, orthopedic tests, review of prior imaging.
  3. Protocol design. Specific vertebral level, pull schedule, complementary modalities.
  4. Active phase. 3 sessions per week for the first 4–6 weeks.
  5. Mid-course re-exam. Confirm we're on track before completing the protocol.
  6. Taper and maintenance. Gradual reduction plus home rehab program.

Pricing.

Free consultation including imaging review. A full decompression course (15–25 sessions) typically runs $2,000–$3,500 depending on complexity, often with some insurance coverage. We verify benefits and give you exact out-of-pocket cost before starting.

Compare this to surgery: a single microdiscectomy averages $15,000–$30,000 out-of-pocket after insurance, with weeks of recovery and real procedural risk. When decompression is an option, it's worth trying first.

What Patients Say

Surgery Avoided. Life Reclaimed.

★★★★★
Neurosurgeon said fusion was my only option. Eight weeks of decompression here and my MRI shows the disc is back where it belongs. No surgery.
Patrick O.L5-S1 Herniation
★★★★★
Bulging disc and sciatica down my left leg. Couldn't sit for more than 10 minutes. After the course, I'm back to full workouts.
Linda E.Bulging Disc
★★★★★
The sessions themselves are actually relaxing. I fell asleep on the table multiple times. And it works.

FAQ

Decompression Questions.

What is spinal decompression therapy?

Spinal decompression uses a motorized traction table to gently stretch and decompress the spine in a controlled pattern, creating negative pressure between vertebrae that helps retract herniated disc material and draw in nutrients for healing.

Does it hurt?

No. Most patients describe decompression as relaxing - many fall asleep during sessions. You lie on a padded table while the machine does the work.

How many sessions will I need?

A typical course is 15–25 sessions over 6–10 weeks, usually starting at 3x/week and tapering down. We re-exam mid-course to verify you're responding before completing the protocol.

Is decompression a good alternative to back surgery?

For many herniated-disc and bulging-disc cases, yes. Research and our clinical experience show decompression helps most patients avoid surgery. That said, some cases (cauda equina, severe nerve deficit, large extrusions) need surgical evaluation - we screen for these before starting care.
