Is ceragem therapy an option for disc prolapse?

Maybe: Ceragem (acupressure massage) might help heal a disc injury, but there aren't any good studies showing its benefit in double blind studies. The skeptic in me is concerned when i hear claims that it can help other conditions like asthma and diabetes. It probably won't hurt, but healing might be occurring anyway.

Not Really: Although Ceragem looks like a fancy massage bed it is unlikely to help with changing anything with the disc (almost nothing can do that without some change on your part, remember passive therapies do not fix anything). It may make you feel good while on it, once done likely your pain will return. Core strengthening will strengthen your spine and epidural steroid injection will help with pain.
