Back pain due to a herniated or bulging disc can be debilitating, and in the past, surgery was the answer. Today, we have highly-successful techniques that allows us to relieve this pain without surgery. Usually used along side your regular adjustments, a Chiropractic technique called Flexion-Distraction decompresses the spine and pulls the herniated or bulging material back into the disc by gently stretching and relaxing the spine which, over time, separates the vertebrae. This creates a vacuum-like effect that pulls the soft bulging disc material back into the disc. This can not only clear up back pain, but also any pain caused by the pressure put on the nerves. For example, patients who have a herniated disc in the lower back may have shooting sciatic pain down their legs. Relieving the herniated disc will cause that pain to vanish.
If you are living in pain from a herniated or bulging disc, Chiropractic Flexion-Distraction may help relieve your pain fast and, with repeated applications, provide lasting relief from the pain of a disc herniation. Instead of turning to dangerous pain medications that just cover up the problem, ask us if this technique can help you.
