Before considering spinal surgery for a herniated disc or sciatica, know what the research is showing. 🦴🔍

In this episode of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum discusses research examining non-surgical spinal decompression and its effects on herniated discs and low back pain.

One measurement discussed is the Herniated Disc Index (HDI), which can be used to compare the amount of disc material occupying the spinal canal before and after treatment. 📊

Dr. Dudum also discusses research comparing spinal decompression with traditional traction, along with a patient case showing a 45% reduction in disc herniation size on pre- and post-treatment MRI evaluation. The patient also reported being pain-free and returning to activities like swimming, soccer, and basketball. 💪🏊‍♂️⚽

The takeaway? If you're dealing with a disc herniation or sciatica, understanding the research, evaluating the disc properly, and tracking changes over time can provide valuable insight into your treatment journey. 🧠✨

From leg + back pain to getting back to what matters. 🙌

When pain starts affecting your daily life, it can feel like your options are limited. For many patients dealing with disc-related issues, sciatica, or persistent back pain, non-surgical spinal decompression may provide a different path forward.

At Dudum Chiropractic, spinal decompression is designed to gently target specific areas of the spine and help reduce stress on affected discs and nerves through a personalized treatment approach.

Every patient’s journey is different, but our goal remains the same: understand what’s causing your symptoms and create a plan focused on helping you move forward.

Most people never think about how their body is positioned while they sleep. If you wake up with a stiff neck, a nagging ache in your lower back, or a hand that feels numb before you’re even out of bed, the position you sleep in might be working against your spine every night without you realizing...

Not all disc injuries are the same — and that distinction can completely change the treatment approach. 🦴⚡

In this episode of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum breaks down the difference between a disc herniation and disc extrusion, including why the size, location, and migration pattern of the disc material matter when creating a spinal decompression plan. 🧠🎯

A herniation may be more contained, while an extrusion can be larger and migrate upward or downward, potentially affecting nerves at a different level. That’s why Dr. Dudum emphasizes the importance of understanding the MRI before determining how to approach decompression.

He also shares a patient case where identifying the direction of an extrusion changed the treatment strategy — and after six sessions, the patient woke up without pain for the first time in over a year. 🙌

If you're dealing with leg pain, numbness, or a suspected disc injury, guessing isn't a strategy. Understanding what type of disc injury you have and where it has migrated can make a major difference.

When back pain starts affecting your everyday life, the next step isn’t always surgery.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is designed to gently create space in the spine and target specific areas that may be contributing to symptoms.

At Dudum Chiropractic, we use the DOC Table to provide a more targeted approach by adjusting the table’s positioning to focus on specific areas of the spine.

Whether you’re dealing with disc-related pain, sciatica, or spinal discomfort, the first step is understanding what’s causing your symptoms and creating a plan around your goals.

A disc bulge, spondylolisthesis, or spinal instability doesn’t always mean surgery is your only option.

In this episode of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum breaks down what happens when a vertebra shifts forward or backward, how it can affect your spine, and why understanding how your spine moves is critical before creating a treatment plan.

You’ll learn:
✅ What anterior and retro spondylolisthesis actually mean
✅ Why flexion-extension X-rays can reveal important details that an MRI alone may miss
✅ How spinal instability can change the way decompression should be performed
✅ A patient case where a customized decompression approach helped reduce a cervical disc extrusion and avoid spinal fusion

Spinal decompression isn’t about simply getting on a table and pushing a button. The right approach requires understanding your unique spinal structure, movement patterns, and symptoms.

If you’ve been told surgery is your only option, there may be more to explore.

Propping a child on one hip while you cook dinner, answer the door, or just walk across a room, is one of the most natural movements a parent or caregiver makes. But that same natural habit, repeated day after day, can eventually reshape how your spine and hips carry your own weight.
