What Is Herniated Discs?
The discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. When the outer layer weakens or tears, the inner material can bulge or herniate, pressing on nearby nerve roots and causing localized or radiating pain.
Common Causes
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Repetitive lifting or twisting motions
- A single traumatic injury or accident
- Prolonged sitting and poor spinal posture
Common Symptoms
- Localized back pain that may radiate into the leg or arm
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness along the nerve path
- Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or coughing
- Muscle spasm near the affected disc
How We Treat It
Spinal decompression therapy is one of the most effective non-surgical options for disc-related pain, gently creating space to relieve pressure on the disc and nerve. We pair this with chiropractic adjustments to support overall spinal alignment.
