Disc Treatment
Herniated Disc Treatment
A structured non-surgical trial for a bulging or herniated disc — before fusion is on the table.
What is Disc Treatment?
Herniated Disc Treatment is a non-surgical care program for bulging, herniated, and degenerative discs. Dr. Kanyon Smith uses computer-guided spinal decompression to take pressure off the affected disc so it can rehydrate, paired with targeted rehab so the same load pattern doesn't return.

How It Works
Your disc treatment program, step by step.
01
Disc-specific exam & imaging review
Dr. Smith reviews your MRI or X-rays and performs a targeted exam to confirm the disc level driving your pain.
02
Personalized decompression protocol
Pull angle, force, and cycle pattern are dialed in to the exact disc — not a one-size-fits-all setting.
03
Layered supportive therapies
Anti-inflammatory care and nerve-glide rehab support each session so progress sticks between visits.
04
Stabilization & graduation
Core and hip stabilization keep the disc from re-loading the same way once you finish the program.
