Understanding the structural root โ and how to address it properly
Disc herniation is rarely a sudden event โ it is the end result of years of asymmetric spinal loading that progressively displaces the nucleus pulposus. Correcting the vertebral alignment reduces intradiscal pressure and creates the mechanical environment for natural resorption. SPINE-X applies precise corrective forces to unload the affected segment and halt further degeneration.
