Lake Worth Herniated Disc Treatment with Chiropractic

A herniated disc can adversely affect your daily life and your overall well-being. If you're affected by the discomfort of a herniated disc, our chiropractic care can help.

Sometimes called a slipped disc, a herniated disc can irritate nerves and cause your leg or arm to feel pain, weakness, or numbness or tingling. Herniated discs generally occur in the low back, but they may also affect the neck. They are usually caused by disc degeneration (wear and tear), and the risk can be increased by your genetics, being overweight, working in physically demanding jobs, or activities with certain stressful repetitive movements.

Chiropractic Care Offers Variety of Treatments

At Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness, we offer multi-tiered and varied approaches to treat a herniated disc. Your complete care depends on the nature and severity of your disc injury, but there are some of the ways chiropractic care and complementary care can help.

• Adjustments. Our highly trained chiropractor manipulates vertebrae that are not functioning properly.
• Manual decompression. A series of manual decompression treatments help stretch and reshape a herniated disc. 
• Massage therapy. Muscle tension is relieved by massage therapy, which is complementary to chiropractic care.
• Myofascial release. A low-load stretch that relieves pain and tightness, myofascial release can treat ailments such as a compressed nerve caused by a herniated disc.
• Stretching. Stretching the spine can help the chiropractor isolate an affected area in order to perform further treatment.
• Core strengthening. Core strengthening in a rehabilitation setting improves balance and strength and reduces postural stress.
• Postural correction. Gentle, targeted exercises help correct poor posture, an important part of healing from a disc injury.
