Herniated Disc Treatment and Solutions. What Can We Do

Dr. Beau Van Wechel at Pure Health Chiropractic and Wellness in Union, KY, offers a wide range of chiropractic services, including herniated disc treatment. She proudly serves residents of Union, and Northern Kentucky, and she can help you too.

A herniated or displaced disc can be due to:

• An accident or injury
• Degenerative joint problems
• Lifting or carrying heavy objects
• Sitting or staying in one position for an extended period of time

You might have a herniated disc if you experience:

• Pain that radiates down your leg
• Numbness or weakness in your leg
• Pain that radiates down your arm
• Pain in your shoulder
• Numbness or weakness in your arm
• Slowed reflexes

Your chiropractor may require imaging studies such as an MRI to determine the extent of herniation and to develop a treatment plan.

Chiropractic treatment for a herniated disc may include:

• Spinal decompression, to gradually realign herniated or bulging discs
• Manual manipulation and adjustment, to help relieve joint and nerve pressure
• Electrical stimulation therapy, to help reduce muscle spasms, pain, and swelling
• Physiotherapy, to help you learn proper body mechanics and movements to protect your back
• Thermal therapies, to reduce swelling, boost circulation, and promote healing
• Massage therapy, to relax muscles, tendons, and ligaments which helps reduce tension and pain

You don’t have to let a herniated disc interfere with living your life. Relief is just a phone call away.
