Advanced, Gentle Relief for Herniated Discs, Bulging Discs & Sciatica
High-impact car collisions, sudden trauma, and repetitive spinal strain can cause spinal discs to compress, bulge, or herniate—putting pressure on surrounding nerves and causing debilitating neck, back, or leg pain.
At Spinal Injury Center, led by Dr. Albert Lai, MD and Dr. Marco Cazares, DC, we utilize computer-controlled Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy to gently unload the spine, relieve nerve pressure, and restore mobility without invasive surgery.
We provide comprehensive care on a personal injury lien basis, allowing auto accident victims to receive immediate, state-of-the-art treatment with $0 out-of-pocket costs while their legal cases are resolved.
How Spinal Disc Decompression Works
Spinal Decompression is a motorized, computer-directed traction technology designed to target specific segments of the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) spine.
Unlike traditional traction, decompression uses precise angles and dynamic force curves to bypass the body’s natural muscle spasm defense:
- Creates Negative Intradiscal Pressure: By slowly stretching the spine, the treatment creates a vacuum effect (negative pressure) within the affected disc space.
- Retracts Disc Material: This vacuum helps draw herniated or bulging disc material back into the center of the disc, taking direct pressure off pinched nerves.
- Promotes Nutrient & Fluid Flow: The pumping action promotes the influx of water, oxygen, and vital nutrients into the damaged disc, accelerating cellular repair and healing.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression
- Herniated or Slipped Discs
- Bulging or Protruding Discs
- Sciatica & Radiating Leg Pain
- Whiplash & Cervical Disc Strain
- Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
- Spinal Facet Syndrome
- Post-Traumatic Back & Neck Stiffness

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Spinal Decompression painful?
No. Treatment is gentle and pain-free. Patients typically feel a mild, comfortable stretch along their neck or lower back during the cycle.
How many sessions will I need?
While some patients experience initial relief within a few sessions, a typical treatment plan ranges from 12 to 24 sessions over several weeks to achieve lasting structural healing and stabilization.
Am I a candidate for spinal decompression?
Most patients with herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs are strong candidates. Patients who are pregnant or have advanced osteoporosis, severe spinal instability, or hardware from prior surgeries will be evaluated by Dr. Lai to determine safe alternatives.
