Pain associated with herniated or bulging discs can be very concerning to deal with. The pain associated with a herniated or bulging disc can go down the arms or legs and can even cause numbness and weakness in the extremities. This can lead many to think that they have a serious medical condition and can even lead to people getting surgery. Our office has been helping people who suffer from herniated or bulging discs find relief since 2011.

Many of these people had undergone thousands of dollars in MRIs, CT scans, injections, and pain pills with little to no relief. Some had exhausted their options with medical care and sought care in our office as a last resort before surgery. We are proud to say that we have been able to help a large number of our patients avoid surgery on their spine.

Now, some cases of herniated discs need surgery, but the number of cases that actually need surgery is very rare. More often than not, disc issues respond very well to the care that we provide in our office. Many people have found relief and so can you!

The Cause of Herniated Discs

There are many reasons why discs can herniate or bulge. It can be from years of wear and tear, and it can also happen with a single traumatic event such as a fall or a car accident. For the vast majority of people, herniated discs and the complications that come with them are treatable and do not suggest the need of serious medical intervention or surgery.

Most bulging discs are caused by what we do on a daily basis. Repetitive bending, lifting and twisting are common ways to injure a disc, and working a job that requires those movements can put you at a higher risk of injury. Disc issues can give you pain, numbness or tingling into the hands or legs depending on the location of the issue. A disc issue is usually more painful in the morning and gets better as the day goes on. People with a disc herniation may have trouble putting on shoes in the morning. Pain with a cough or sneeze or while using the restroom is another sign of a disc herniation. If you notice any of these symptoms, you likely have a disc that is bulging and irritating the nerves of your spine.

While many people with disc issues have a high level of pain, it’s important to know that it is still safe to treat someone with a disc issue even while they are in pain. Chiropractic care like what we provide in our office has been shown to be safe and effective at treating pain associated with a disc herniation.

We offer state-of-the-art spinal decompression to help decompress the joints of the spine, stretch tight muscles and ligaments, improve nutrition to the discs of the spine, and increase the available space in the openings where your spinal nerves exit.

We would love to see if we can help you find the relief you seek. When you come in for your first appointment, you will have a consultation and exam with Dr. Stanley that is specifically designed to figure out if you have a bulging or herniated disc and if it is treatable with chiropractic care. If we can help, we will come up with a treatment plan specifically designed to safely and effectively treat your disc issues.
