Can a Chiropractor Help a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc can occur slowly, or it can come on in an acute injury. When you have a herniated disc, it is important to get your back evaluated to determine what treatment plan will be most beneficial. At Chiropractic Health Clinic in Omaha, NE, Dr. Mark Eiler, Dr. Andrea Eiler, and Dr. Justin Eiler will assess what is going on with your back, and provide a comprehensive treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Fixing a Bulging Disc

A bulging disc tends to occur when the space between two vertebrae is narrowed, causing pressure on the disc. Chiropractic care eases the pressure on your disc using spinal decompression techniques, allowing the disc to heal over time. It may take weeks for a disc to heal once the pressure has been removed. You can expect to see the chiropractor several times a week for about a month to address a bulging disc as it is healing. When the disc issues are caused by weak core muscles and poor spinal alignment, chiropractic treatment is an effective way to treat your bulging disc.

Chiropractic Care for Slipped Discs

You may have substantial pain if you have a slipped disc, causing numbness or tingling in the affected area. A chiropractor will look to uncover if the disc can be repaired without surgery and optimize the alignment of your spine for the disc to recover. When your spine is aligned and you get the supportive care you need, many discs can be restored to normal. A disc herniation can heal if the cause of the herniation is treated.
