How Herndon Chiropractic Treats herniated disc
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer, placing pressure on surrounding nerves. This condition can result in sharp pain, tingling, numbness, and even muscle weakness—especially in the arms or legs, depending on the disc’s location.
Chiropractic Care for Disc Issues:
Our chiropractors use spinal decompression techniques and targeted adjustments to relieve nerve pressure and reduce inflammation. Gentle mobilization and muscle therapy also help to restore movement and reduce surrounding muscle spasm, allowing the disc to heal naturally.
