Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations: A Non-Surgical Solution with SoftWave Therapy and Spinal Decompression at DeBole Chiropractic in Farmington, NY

If you’ve been diagnosed with a herniated disc in your lower back, you know just how painful and limiting it can be. From sciatic nerve pain and numbness to reduced mobility and constant inflammation, lumbar disc issues can interfere with every part of your life.

At DeBole Chiropractic in Farmington, NY, Dr. Mike DeBole and his team combine two of the most powerful non-surgical therapies available today—SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy and spinal decompression—to help patients with lumbar disc herniations experience lasting relief and true healing without injections, medications, or surgery.

Understanding Lumbar Disc Herniations

What Is a Herniated Disc?

The discs in your spine are gel-filled cushions between each vertebra that act as shock absorbers. When a disc becomes damaged or weakened, the inner gel can protrude or leak out, leading to what’s commonly known as a disc herniation.

Types of Lumbar Disc Herniations

  1. Contained Disc Herniation
    The outer layer of the disc remains intact, but the inner material is pushing against it, causing pressure and inflammation.

  2. Non-Contained Disc Herniation (Extrusion)
    The outer disc fibers have torn, and inner disc material has broken through, pressing on surrounding nerves.

  3. Sequestered Disc Herniation
    A fragment of disc material has completely broken off and is lodged in the spinal canal—often causing severe nerve pain and dysfunction.

Common Causes of Lumbar Disc Herniations

  • Poor posture and improper lifting

  • Sudden trauma or accidents

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Sedentary lifestyle or repetitive spinal stress

  • High-impact sports or manual labor

Symptoms of Lumbar Disc Herniations

  • Sharp, radiating pain in the lower back

  • Sciatic nerve pain down the leg

  • Numbness or tingling in the feet or toes

  • Muscle weakness

  • Difficulty standing or walking for extended periods

  • Loss of range of motion or flexibility

The Power of Combining SoftWave Therapy and Spinal Decompression

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT)

SoftWave is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into damaged discs and soft tissue. These waves trigger a powerful biological healing response at the cellular level.

Scientific Benefits of SoftWave for Lumbar Disc Issues

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Stimulates new blood vessel growth for better nutrient delivery

  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase): Improves vascular function and reduces inflammation

  • Neoangiogenesis: Promotes microcirculation around injured discs

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration: Mobilizes your body’s natural healing cells to the disc

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen): Supports cellular repair and regeneration

  • Toll-Like Receptor Modulation: Balances inflammation and supports immune regulation

  • Clears Senescent Cells: Makes room for new, functional tissue to grow

SoftWave promotes tissue healing, disc rehydration, and nerve regeneration, helping relieve pressure and reduce pain naturally.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression is a gentle, computer-controlled technique that stretches and relaxes the spine to create space between the vertebrae. This reduces pressure on compressed discs and allows oxygen and nutrients to re-enter the disc for healing.

Key Benefits of Decompression for Disc Herniations

  • Reduces disc bulging and herniation

  • Eases pressure on spinal nerves

  • Encourages nutrient flow and disc hydration

  • Promotes long-term spinal health and function

Why This Combination Works So Well

Together, SoftWave Therapy and spinal decompression offer a synergistic solution:

  • SoftWave heals the tissue and regenerates damaged disc structures

  • Spinal decompression reduces mechanical pressure on the disc and nerves

  • Together, they address both the root cause and the symptoms of your pain

This dual-therapy approach is ideal for contained, non-contained, and even sequestered herniations, offering a path to recovery that’s non-surgical, drug-free, and highly effective.

Avoid Surgery. Cancel the Injections. Start Healing Naturally.

Many patients come to DeBole Chiropractic after being told their only option is spinal injections or surgery. With the combination of SoftWave and spinal decompression, they’ve been able to:

  • Cancel scheduled surgeries

  • Reduce or eliminate the need for injections and medications

  • Regain mobility, strength, and confidence

  • Return to work, sports, and daily life without debilitating back pain
