Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression at Disc Centers of America Cleveland

Chronic back or neck pain doesn’t just affect your comfort — it impacts every part of daily life. From work and family activities to sleep and mobility, living with constant pain can feel overwhelming. At Disc Centers of America Cleveland, Dr. Roger Huang and his team use advanced non-surgical spinal decompression therapy with AccuSpina technology to address the root cause of disc and nerve pain, helping patients throughout Northeast Ohio find lasting relief without surgery or medications.

Here’s an overview of the most common conditions we treat — and why decompression may be the answer you’ve been searching for.


Herniated and Bulging Discs

One of the most common causes of back and neck pain is a herniated or bulging disc. This happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes out through a tear in the outer layer, often irritating nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or tingling.

Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc. This can help the disc retract, relieve nerve pressure, and improve nutrient flow — allowing the disc to heal naturally over time.

Sciatica

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates from the lower back down one or both legs, caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. It’s often triggered by herniated discs, bulging discs, or degenerative disc disease.

Decompression therapy reduces pressure on the sciatic nerve, easing pain and improving mobility. Many patients in Cleveland report significant relief after just a few sessions.


Degenerative Disc Disease

As we age, spinal discs can lose hydration and elasticity, leading to degenerative disc disease. This condition can cause chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.

Spinal decompression encourages rehydration of the discs, improving cushioning and reducing pain. When combined with lifestyle recommendations and corrective exercises, decompression can slow progression and support long-term spinal health.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. It’s common in older adults and can make walking or standing for long periods difficult.

While severe cases may require surgery, many patients with mild to moderate stenosis benefit from spinal decompression. By gently opening up space between the vertebrae, decompression relieves nerve pressure and improves function.


Chronic Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain can have many causes — from poor posture and repetitive stress to injuries and age-related changes. For patients whose pain hasn’t improved with medications, physical therapy, or chiropractic care alone, decompression offers a proven, non-invasive alternative.

Decompression targets the underlying disc and nerve issues contributing to pain, rather than simply masking symptoms.


Chronic Neck Pain

Neck pain, often caused by cervical disc problems or poor posture, can lead to headaches, shoulder pain, and restricted movement. Cervical decompression specifically targets the neck area, relieving nerve irritation and helping restore range of motion.

If neck pain is interfering with your daily life, request a consultation to see if cervical decompression is right for you.


Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Some patients continue to experience pain even after spinal surgery, a condition known as failed back surgery syndrome. In these cases, spinal decompression can provide relief by addressing lingering disc or nerve issues that weren’t resolved during surgery.


Facet Syndrome

Facet syndrome occurs when the small joints that connect the vertebrae become irritated or inflamed. While decompression primarily targets discs, reducing pressure on the spine can also help alleviate pain related to facet joint dysfunction.
