If you’ve been dealing with chronic back or neck pain, sciatica, or herniated discs, you’ve likely heard about non-surgical spinal decompression as a potential treatment. At Disc Centers of America Cleveland, Dr. Roger Huang and his team provide advanced decompression therapy using AccuSpina technology — helping patients across Northeast Ohio find relief without surgery, medications, or injections.

This guide walks you through how spinal decompression works, what to expect during treatment, and why more Cleveland patients are choosing this non-invasive option.

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression therapy is a specialized treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. By creating negative pressure inside the discs, bulging or herniated discs can retract, which reduces irritation on nearby nerves and promotes natural healing.

Unlike older forms of traction, modern decompression with AccuSpina is computer-controlled. The system precisely adjusts the angle and intensity of each pull, targeting specific problem areas and preventing muscle guarding. This makes treatment more comfortable and effective for long-term results.

Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation

Every decompression journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Cleveland or Ashtabula office. During this visit, Dr. Huang will:

• Review your health history and previous imaging (MRIs or X-rays)

• Discuss your symptoms and treatment goals

• Perform a physical examination to assess your spine’s condition

This step ensures decompression is appropriate and allows us to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Step 2: Custom Treatment Planning

If you’re a good candidate, we’ll outline a personalized care plan. Most patients undergo 20–30 sessions over several weeks. The plan also factors in supportive therapies like chiropractic adjustments or corrective exercises when beneficial.

We explain every part of the process, including expected results, session frequency, and cost, so there are no surprises.

Step 3: The Decompression Session

During each session, you’ll lie comfortably on the AccuSpina table. A harness system is applied around your hips (for lumbar decompression) or head (for cervical decompression). The machine then gently cycles through controlled stretches and relaxations, targeting the affected disc levels.

• Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes

• Most patients describe the process as relaxing — some even nap during treatment

• No downtime — you can resume normal activities right after

Step 4: Monitoring Progress

Throughout your treatment plan, we track your progress carefully. Many patients notice pain relief within the first 5–7 sessions, with continued improvement over time. Follow-up evaluations help us fine-tune your care and ensure optimal results.

Step 5: Long-Term Support

After completing decompression therapy, our team provides guidance on maintaining results. This may include core-strengthening exercises, ergonomic advice, or periodic follow-up visits. The goal is not just temporary relief but long-term spinal health.
