A Herniated Disc occurs when spinal tissue presses against nearby nerves, creating pain or numbness. Our care emphasizes non-surgical, conservative methods for restoring function.
A Bit of History
Descriptions of disc-like structures appear in anatomical records from the Renaissance, but herniated discs were formally identified in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with advances in radiology. Early care often relied on bed rest and traction, but outcomes were limited. In the 20th century, surgical procedures like discectomy emerged but carried risks. Over time, conservative strategies proved valuable, emphasizing spinal alignment, mobility, and muscular support. Today, chiropractic, physical therapy, and pain management form the core of care, often improving quality of life without invasive steps.
How this Can Help You
A Herniated Disc may cause radiating pain, numbness, or weakness. Conservative care can support alignment, reduce irritation, and improve comfort. Patients often report steadier mobility, improved posture, and more confidence in activity when integrating rehabilitation.
