What Is a Herniated Disc? 

A herniated disc, or slipped disc, is when your disc annulus cracks or breaks. This allows the gel-like substance within the disc to push out and causes back or leg pain, tingling, or numbness. It is one of the most common causes of back pain.

Chiropractic Treatment for Herniated Disc

Frequently Asked Questions: Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc Pain Relief 

  • Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, hands-on approach to treating herniated disc pain. It involves spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other manual techniques to alleviate pressure on the affected disc and surrounding nerves, leading to pain relief and improved mobility.

  • When performed by a licensed and qualified chiropractor, chiropractic care is generally safe for herniated disc pain relief. However, informing your chiropractor about your specific condition and medical history is essential to ensure a personalized and safe treatment plan.

  • Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, reducing pressure on the herniated disc and easing irritation on nearby nerves. This process enhances blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes the body's natural healing mechanisms.

  • Symptoms can vary, but common signs of a herniated disc include localized or radiating pain in the affected area, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, muscle weakness, and difficulty with certain movements.

  • Individuals diagnosed with a herniated disc and experiencing related pain without severe nerve compression or significant underlying medical conditions are often suitable candidates for chiropractic care.

  • During your first visit, Dr. Likins will thoroughly examine and assess your medical history to develop a customized treatment plan. Subsequent sessions may involve gentle spinal adjustments, manual therapies, stretching exercises, and lifestyle recommendations.

  • The number of sessions needed varies depending on the severity of the herniated disc, individual response to treatment, and overall health. Some patients experience relief after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing care over several weeks or months.

  • Chiropractic care can significantly reduce pain and discomfort associated with a herniated disc, and in some cases, it may help the disc heal naturally over time. However, managing expectations is essential, as complete disc healing is only sometimes guaranteed.

  • Chiropractic care is considered safe, but some individuals may experience mild soreness, stiffness, or temporary discomfort after a session. Serious complications are rare but possible, especially if the chiropractic treatment is not tailored to the patient's condition.

  • While chiropractic care cannot prevent herniated discs outright, it can contribute to overall spinal health and alignment, which may reduce the risk of future disc-related issues.
