Spinal Decompression in San Diego
If you've been told you have a herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, or sciatica, you've probably been given two options: manage it... or consider surgery. There is another way.
A Comprehensive Protocol for Disc Healing
At Element Wellness Center, our spinal decompression protocol is unlike traditional traction programs. We do not simply put you on a table and hope for the best. We begin with detailed imaging, including X-rays when medically necessary, to understand exactly what is happening with your disc space, spinal alignment, and nerve pressure.
From there, we build a customized decompression plan designed to gently open the disc space, reduce nerve irritation, and restore proper spinal mechanics. But decompression alone is not enough.
A Combined Healing Approach
We combine decompression with shockwave therapy to improve surrounding soft tissue health and reduce chronic inflammation. We integrate PEMF (pulse electromagnetic frequency therapy) to stimulate cellular repair and improve circulation at the disc level.
We also prescribe specific at-home therapies to support disc hydration, spinal stability, and long-term correction. Our goal is not just to decrease pain. It is to create an environment where the disc can heal, pressure can normalize, and the spine can stabilize — so you don't keep cycling through flare-ups.
