Read below to understand what a herniated disc means to the body and its pain receptors.

Disc Herniation

A disc herniation will cause symptoms such as pain, tingling, or numbness that can travel down your arms or legs. Chiropractic care can provide pain relief, and a chiropractor may suspect a disc herniation based on your symptoms. In addition, imaging is done to check your discs' health, which is the most precise way to see if you have a disc herniation.

Treatment for a Disc Herniation with Our Chiropractor

Spinal adjustments, decompression strategies, and stretching can relieve pain caused by disc herniation. If you have an area of compression, supportive therapies to address muscle strain and weakness will be necessary to heal completely. Core strength is essential when experiencing disc issues, and you may be taught strengthening exercises to improve your overall health.
