Disc Problems

Herniated, bulging, degenerated — disc issues respond to conservative care.

Did you know?5–10% of adults will have a symptomatic disc herniation at some point.

What it is

Disc injuries may cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, exercises, and posture retraining.

Common Symptoms

  • Localized lower back or neck pain
  • Pain radiating into an arm or leg
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in a specific area
  • Pain worsened by sitting, bending, or coughing
  • Difficulty standing up straight after sitting

How Chiropractic Can Help

  • Spinal decompression therapy reduces disc pressure
  • Specific adjustments restore joint motion above and below the injured disc
  • Targeted stretches and core work prevent re-injury
  • Avoids the risks of surgery whenever possible

What to Expect at Thrive

We confirm the disc involvement with exam (and imaging if not already done), then combine spinal decompression therapy with specific adjustments to give the disc a real shot at healing.
