About 2% of adults suffer from a herniated disc. Safe chiropractic care can reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore spinal health.

SLIPPED DISC? HOW CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN HELP

UNDERSTANDING HERNIATED DISCS

A herniated disc happens when the soft disc center leaks out, irritating nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.

SYMPTOMS TO WATCH

Sharp back or leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness may indicate a slipped disc. Seek professional care for proper diagnosis.

SLIPPED DISC VS BULGING DISC

A bulging disc pushes out but remains intact. Herniated discs crack the outer layer and press on nerves, causing more pain.

HOW CHIROPRACTORS HELP

Spinal adjustments and gentle techniques reduce pressure on discs, improve mobility, and relieve pain without surgery.

GENTLE TECHNIQUES FOR RELIEF

Methods like Cox flexion-distraction, activator, and soft tissue therapy decompress the spine and ease disc pain safely.

PAIN MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Chiropractors combine spinal adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle guidance for immediate and long-term herniated disc relief.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Chiropractic care is safe for most, but severe fractures, infections, or tumors require medical advice before treatment.

FINDING THE RIGHT CHIROPRACTOR

Choose a licensed chiropractor with experience treating herniated discs. Ask about techniques, personalized plans, and success stories.
