Effective Chiropractic Treatments for Herniated Discs

At our chiropractic clinic, we have a range of different treatments that can help relieve the pain caused by a ruptured or slipped disc.

Here’s a breakdown of our treatments and how they can help relieve your pain:

Chiropractic Care – When you have manual adjustments, your body is brought back into alignment as misaligned vertebrae are put back into place.

Our chiropractic adjustments will help relieve pressure on compressed nerves or tissues. It will in turn improve blood flow to help your disc pain.

  • Class IV Laser Therapy – Low-level laser therapy is a painless procedure that can help reduce inflammation that may be contributing to your back pain.
  • Spinal Decompression – By using a specialized traction table, we can gently stretch your back to create more space between the vertebrae. This provides valuable nutrients and oxygen to the affected area.
  • Physiologic Therapeutics – Exercises that are designed to strengthen and stretch affected muscles and tissues. It will help improve your structure and relieve pain.
  • Massage Therapy – Massage therapy is a valuable tool for relaxing tense or damaged muscles and relieving stress.

Understanding Symptoms & Causes of Herniated Discs

A herniated disc is characterized by an issue with one of the rubbery discs that sit between the vertebrae in your spine.

Most of the time, a herniated disc occurs in the lower back. It may also be called a ruptured disc or a slipped disc.

Disc injuries may be caused by a single excessive strain or injury or a degenerative condition that has weakened the ligaments holding your discs in place.

Some of the factors that can increase the risk of suffering herniated disc include:

  • Your occupation
  • Smoking
  • Obesity
  • A sedentary lifestyle

Our chiropractic treatments can help alleviate the pain and discomfort you feel from a herniated disc. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to get the pain relief you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I expect to feel relief from a herniated disc with treatment?

Relief varies. Some may experience initial pain reduction within a few weeks of consistent treatment, while others with more severe herniations may require several months to notice significant improvement.

What are the long-term effects of not treating a herniated disc?

Ignoring a herniated disc can lead to chronic pain, persistent nerve damage (numbness, weakness), and limitations in mobility and daily activities. In rare cases, it can lead to cauda equina syndrome, a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention.

How can I prevent future herniated disc problems after treatment?

Maintaining good posture, using proper lifting techniques, engaging in regular core strengthening exercises, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing can help prevent recurrence.

Will I be able to return to all my previous activities after herniated disc treatment?

With successful treatment and rehabilitation, many individuals can return to most, if not all, of their previous activities. However, you may need to modify how you perform certain activities to protect your spine.

Are there specific exercises I should avoid when I have a herniated disc?

Yes. Generally, you should avoid exercises that involve heavy lifting, extreme twisting, or significant forward bending, as these motions can increase pressure on the disc and potentially worsen the herniation.

Can chiropractic care help with chronic herniated disc pain that has lasted for years?

Yes, even chronic disc pain can respond well to chiropractic treatment, particularly therapies like spinal decompression and targeted adjustments, which aim to restore function and reduce long-term nerve irritation.

Is it painful to get a chiropractic adjustment when my disc is already hurting?

Adjustments for a herniated disc are typically very gentle. While you might feel some temporary soreness or discomfort, the goal is immediate pain relief by removing pressure from the irritated nerves.

How does proper posture factor into healing a herniated disc?

Proper posture is critical because it minimizes uneven stress and strain on the spinal discs. Chiropractors teach patients postural correction techniques to support the spine and prevent future disc injury recurrence.

Looking forward to my next visit!

Doctor Taylor is very thorough in his assessment and workup for my neck and back issues. We went through the treatment and the exercises afterwards, and while a little sore, I feel quite a bit better.

I have been sleeping and feeling better.

I bought a 4-visit red light therapy package just to see what it was about. I didn't expect much, but that was wrong. I have been sleeping better, feeling better, and have less aches and pains. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Everyone at Taylor Rehab & Disc Injury Center makes the experience great!
