How Health Plus Chiropractic & Acupuncture Helps with Disc Injury

Our chiropractic treatment targets the underlying causes of disc issues such as herniated disc, bulging disc, or degenerative disc. We’re addressing the spinal misalignments and joint dysfunctions that may be contributing to your discomfort. Here’s how chiropractic care can provide relief for your disc injury:

• Spinal Adjustments (Spinal Manipulation): One of the most common chiropractic treatments is spinal manipulation, which involves using controlled force to adjust the vertebrae in the spine. Misaligned vertebrae (also called subluxations) can cause pressure on nerves, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments help release nerve pressure, reduce pain, and improve overall spinal function.
• Relieves Nerve Compression: Disc issues can often be linked to nerve compression, where pressure on the spinal nerves causes pain to radiate down the back, legs, or arms. Conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis can lead to nerve irritation. Chiropractic adjustments can help decompress the nerves, providing pain relief and restoring proper nerve function.
• Increases Range of Motion: If you suffer from stiffness or limited mobility in your spine, chiropractic care can help. Spinal adjustments and other techniques help to increase flexibility in the spine and surrounding muscles, enabling you to move more freely without pain. This is especially beneficial for individuals who have been living with chronic back pain or restricted movement.
• Improves Posture: Poor posture is a common cause of neck and back pain, especially for those who spend long hours sitting at a desk or working on a computer. Chiropractors assess your posture and work to correct any imbalances that might be causing strain on your spine and muscles. Postural correction through chiropractic adjustments can help relieve back pain and prevent future issues.
• Reduces Muscle Tension and Spasms: We not only focus on the spine but also address surrounding muscles and soft tissues. Techniques like myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and massage therapy can help reduce muscle tension and alleviate painful spasms that contribute to back pain. These therapies work in conjunction with spinal adjustments for comprehensive pain relief.
• Non-Invasive and Drug-Free Treatment: One of the greatest benefits of chiropractic care is that it provides relief without the need for medications or invasive procedures. Chiropractic care is a natural and holistic treatment option, focusing on healing the body without drugs. This approach reduces the risk of side effects and long-term dependency on painkillers.
