Understanding Disc Problems

Your spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. Each disc has two main parts:

  • Nucleus pulposus (the “jelly” center) – provides cushioning.
  • Annular fibrosis (the tough outer layer) – keeps the disc intact.

When discs become damaged, three common problems can occur:

  1. Disc Herniation

When trauma or repetitive stress causes the disc’s outer layer to tear, the inner gel leaks out. This can press on nearby nerves, causing sciatica, arm pain, or severe back pain.

  1. Disc Bulge

Often caused by wear and tear, a disc bulge happens when the disc protrudes outward but the inner gel stays inside. While sometimes symptom-free, disc bulges can still lead to pain and stiffness.

  1. Disc Degeneration

Over time, repetitive stress and aging can thin and weaken the discs, leading to chronic back pain and reduced mobility.

Many patients experience a combination of herniation, bulges, and degeneration in the same disc.

The Role of Disc Imbibition in Spinal Health

Healthy discs rely on disc imbibition—the process of absorbing nutrients, fluids, and expelling waste through a pumping action.

  • When the spine is aligned and moving properly, discs stay hydrated and nourished.
  • When the spine is misaligned or restricted, discs “dry out,” accelerating degeneration, bulges, and herniations.

This is why proper spinal alignment and decompression therapy are key to long-term disc health.

How Spinal Decompression Works

Spinal decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure inside the discs. This:

  • Retracts herniated or bulging discs
  • Slows down disc degeneration
  • Restores the natural pumping action of the discs
  • Improves fluid, nutrient, and waste exchange

The result: less pressure on nerves, reduced pain, and improved mobility.

Conditions Treated with Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression therapy may help with:

  • Herniated discs
  • Bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Sciatica and leg pain
  • Arm pain and numbness
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Chronic back and neck pain

Why Choose Spinal Decompression at Ponte Vedra Beach Chiropractic?

At our Ponte Vedra Beach office, we use state-of-the-art decompression tables that allow treatment in multiple positions—not just lying on your back. Patients can be treated:

  • On their stomach (prone)
  • On their back (supine)
  • On their side with leg adjustments
  • Even inverted for certain conditions

This flexibility allows us to customize decompression therapy for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Many of our patients have avoided surgery and invasive injections thanks to this advanced system.
