Herniated Disc Treatment
Herniated Disc Treatment Treatment in Chula Vista
Understanding Herniated Discs
A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. This can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. Herniated discs often result from age-related wear and tear, known as disc degeneration, or from a sudden injury.
Symptoms of Herniated Discs
- Pain radiating through the buttocks and down one leg (sciatica)
- Numbness or tingling in the affected area
- Muscle weakness
- Pain that worsens with movement or after prolonged sitting
Kohler Chiropractic
Our Approach to Herniated Disc Treatment
At Kohler Chiropractic, we provide effective treatments to relieve pain and promote healing for herniated discs. Our approach includes the following treatments.
Decompression Therapy
Decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that relieves pressure on the herniated disc. This therapy creates negative pressure within the disc, promoting the retraction of the herniation and enhancing nutrient exchange to facilitate healing.
Spinal Adjustments
Our chiropractic spinal adjustments are designed to reduce nerve irritation and improve spinal alignment. By gently realigning the vertebrae, we aim to relieve pressure on the affected disc and restore proper function to your spine.
Targeted Exercises
We provide targeted exercises tailored to your specific needs to strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and improve flexibility. These exercises help stabilize the affected area, reduce pain, and prevent future disc injuries.
Lifestyle and Posture Education
Our team offers valuable education on lifestyle modifications and proper posture techniques to prevent future injuries and maintain spinal health. By understanding how to protect your spine during daily activities, you can minimize the risk of recurring herniated disc issues.
