Biomechanical Disc Decompression Protocol™
Doctor-guided Cox® Flexion-Distraction decompression engineered to lower intradiscal pressure (-192 mmHg), un-pinch spinal nerves, and integrate…
- Patients with severe herniated, bulging, or extruded lumbar/cervical discs seeking a non-surgical alternative
- Sharp, burning sciatica or radiating arm/leg pain, numbness, and tingling that has failed standard physical therapy or routine adjustments
- Working individuals and blue-collar labor workers experiencing back pain aggravated by sitting, bending, or driving
- Patients told spinal fusion surgery or daily pain medications are their only remaining choices
- Auto accident and workplace injury victims requiring $0 out-of-pocket care under Letter of Protection (LOP) attorney liens
- 1. Specialist Biomechanical Exam: Dr. Paul Sta. Juana, DC conducts a hands-on neuromusculoskeletal assessment and MRI correlation to identify exact disc vector compressions.
- 2. Vector-Specific Cox® Decompression: Direct 1-on-1 doctor care on a certified Cox® Flexion-Distraction table, creating negative pressure (-192 mmHg) and expanding the spinal canal space by 28%.
- 3. Immediate Integrated Physical Therapy: Step directly onto the rehab floor with Liza Sta. Juana, PT while the disc space is open, activating deep core stabilizers (transverse abdominis & multifidus) to lock in alignment.
- Care is administered 1-on-1 directly by specialized doctors—never handed off to uncertified technicians, assistants, or automated blind traction machines. Every session combines vector-specific Cox® decompression with immediate active neuromuscular rehabilitation.
Questions people ask before starting care
Answers before the first visit, especially after an accident or injury.
What makes the Biomechanical Disc Decompression Protocol™ different from automated machine traction?—
Automated traction tables strap you in and pull blindly using a computerized motor. In certified Cox® Flexion-Distraction, Dr. Paul Sta. Juana, DC maintains continuous hands-on contact with your spine, feeling muscle guarding in real time and micro-adjusting tension to lower intradiscal pressure (-192 mmHg) safely.
Why do you perform physical therapy immediately after decompression?—
Decompressing the disc and relieving nerve pressure creates a temporary 15-to-30-minute 'movement window.' Performing targeted physical therapy immediately afterward with Liza Sta. Juana, PT trains your deep core stabilizer muscles to hold the new alignment when you stand up against gravity.
Is this protocol covered under car accident Attorney Liens (LOP)?—
Yes. If you were injured in a motor vehicle collision, we accept Letters of Protection (LOP) from personal injury attorneys throughout McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, Mission, Weslaco, and the RGV—allowing you to receive care with $0 out-of-pocket costs at the time of service.
Do I need an MRI before starting decompression?—
An MRI is helpful but not strictly required to start your initial evaluation. If you already have imaging CDs or reports, we correlate them with our physical exam. If advanced imaging is necessary, we order MRI scans following American College of Radiology (ACR) criteria.
Is spinal decompression painful?—
No. Cox® Flexion-Distraction is a gentle, rhythmically controlled non-surgical procedure. Most patients experience immediate relief during the session as mechanical pressure is removed from compressed spinal nerve roots.
How many visits does the protocol require?—
Care is strictly findings-driven. We set short, objective re-check windows during Phase 1 (Intensive Stabilization). Once a stable baseline is established, we transition you into active capacity progression so you build long-term independence.
Not for emergencies. If symptoms are severe, worsening, or urgent, seek emergency care.
