Clinical Standard vs Temporary Fixes

Why Generic Adjustments & Injections Fail Severe Disc Herniations

When a spinal disc extrudes and pinches the sciatic nerve, popping gas out of spinal joints or numbing the area with steroids does zero work to physically pull the disc material back into place. True recovery requires deep structural remodeling.

The Temporary Quick-Fix Trap

Popping, Steroid Shots & Surgery

✕"Crack & Pop" Adjustments: Only release joint pressure temporarily.
✕Steroid Injections: Numb nerve pain for a few weeks while the disc continues to decay silently underneath.
✕Invasive Spine Surgery: High-risk fusion or discectomy that permanently removes tissue and destabilizes adjacent discs.

Our Clinical Standard

Biomechanical Disc Decompression Protocol™

✓Negative Vacuum Decompression: Gentle Cox® distraction pulls bulging disc material away from pinched nerve roots.
✓Active Structural Remodeling: Rehydrates starved disc tissue and promotes natural collagen self-repair.
✓DC + PT Multi-Disciplinary Care: Dual provider oversight (Dr. Paul Sta. Juana, DC & Liza Sta. Juana, PT) to re-stabilize core ligaments.

Important Note: Our comprehensive Disc Decompression program requires consistency and active commitment. It is designed specifically for individuals who want true non-surgical resolution.

Targeted Nerve Relieving Care

Cox Spinal Decompression at South Texas Accident & Injury in Alamo, TX

Cox® Decompression Technology

Mechanically pulling pressure off crushed, irritated sciatic nerve roots.

When disc gel extrudes into the spinal canal, gentle negative pressure acts like a vacuum to draw the material back into place and allow nutrient flow to resume.

Clinical Screening

Do You Experience Any of These Severe Disc & Nerve Symptoms?

If you check two or more of these boxes, your spine is likely experiencing active nerve root compression that requires structural intervention:

Sharp, electric shocks or burning pain radiating down your buttock, leg, or foot

Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness (difficulty lifting your foot or standing)

MRI-confirmed herniated, bulging, extruded, or degenerative discs

Severe lower back or neck stiffness making it impossible to sit, drive, or sleep

Cases that failed to improve with basic adjustments, physical therapy, or injections

Desire to bypass risky spinal fusion or discectomy surgery

Biological Mechanism

How Negative Vacuum Pressure Reverses Disc Compression

Spinal discs have poor natural blood supply. When compressed, they starve and decay. Decompression creates the exact mechanical vacuum needed for cellular repair.

Direct Clinical Supervision • Alamo, TX

Intradiscal Pressure & Nerve Impingement

Heavy compressive loads and trauma tear outer annulus fibers, allowing the jelly-like nucleus pulposus to bulge outward. This physically crushes neighboring sciatic nerve roots, causing radiating leg pain and muscle weakness.

Nutrient Starvation & Chronic Inflammation

Because discs have no direct blood supply, they rely on movement to pump fluid in and out. Compression cuts off this fluid exchange, starving the disc of oxygen and locking it into chronic degeneration.

Negative Vacuum Distraction & Rehydration

Cox® Flexion-Distraction technology creates precise, controlled negative pressure within the disc space. This negative vacuum physically draws extruded disc gel away from nerve roots while pulling vital water, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc.

Clinical Qualification Note: Decompression is not a general wellness treatment—it is a medical protocol. Our evaluation determines whether your disc height and nerve spacing are eligible for this mechanical program.

Spinal Decompression FAQ

Questions about severe disc problems

Clear answers about herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, nerve compression, imaging, and non-surgical decompression care.

Most asked questions

Can spinal decompression help a severe disc herniation?

It may be appropriate for some people with disc herniation, depending on the location, severity, symptoms, neurologic findings, and overall clinical picture. The first step is an evaluation to determine whether a conservative decompression protocol is appropriate for your case.

Can spinal decompression help spinal stenosis?

Some patients with spinal stenosis may benefit from conservative care designed to reduce irritation, improve mobility, and improve function. Whether decompression is appropriate depends on the type and severity of stenosis and your individual findings.

What conditions may be considered for decompression care?

Common conditions evaluated include bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc changes, sciatica, nerve irritation, certain forms of spinal stenosis, and persistent neck or low-back pain associated with disc involvement.

Is spinal decompression surgery?

No. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a conservative treatment approach. It does not involve incisions, anesthesia, injections, or surgical procedures.

Does spinal decompression hurt?

Treatment is generally intended to be controlled and tolerable. Patients may feel stretching or pressure changes during treatment. Settings are adjusted based on comfort, symptoms, and clinical findings.

Can decompression help sciatica or a pinched nerve?

It may help in certain cases where symptoms are associated with disc irritation or nerve compression. Sciatica can have several causes, so an exam is important before deciding whether decompression is a reasonable option.

What if my MRI shows a large herniated disc?

MRI findings are important, but treatment decisions should not be made from the image alone. We consider your symptoms, strength, sensation, reflexes, movement, functional limitations, and imaging together.

When would decompression not be appropriate?

Certain conditions may require medical or surgical evaluation instead of, or before, conservative decompression. Significant progressive weakness, bowel or bladder changes, saddle-area numbness, severe trauma, infection, fracture, or other red-flag findings require prompt medical assessment.

How many decompression visits will I need?

There is no single number that applies to everyone. Visit frequency and duration depend on your diagnosis, symptom severity, response to care, functional goals, and whether measurable progress is occurring.

What happens during the first evaluation?

We review your symptoms, history, prior imaging when available, and how your condition affects daily movement and function. The evaluation may include orthopedic, neurologic, movement, and functional testing to determine whether decompression may be appropriate.

Do I need an MRI before starting?

Not every patient requires an MRI before evaluation. If you already have imaging, bring it with you. If additional imaging or medical evaluation appears necessary, that can be discussed during your consultation.

How do I find out if I am a candidate?

Start with a spinal decompression evaluation. We will review your symptoms, imaging if available, neurologic findings, function, and treatment history before determining whether a conservative decompression protocol may be appropriate.
