Our Queens Chiropractor Explains About Herniated Discs

The vertebrae in your back are padded by soft discs that help keep your spinal movement flexible and pain-free. Discs can become damaged during the aging process or as a result of injury. People that are dehydrated or live a sedentary lifestyle are also more likely to experience disc degeneration. A damaged, or herniated disc may bulge or break open, causing a wide range of symptoms. When a herniated disc presses on a nerve, back pain, neck pain, nerve pain, numbness, muscle weakness and bowel or bladder problems can result. 

Treatment for Herniated Discs

Our spine care clinic offers non-invasive treatment options for the repair and prevention of herniated discs. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy offered at our clinic can address the cause of herniated discs and reduce your discomfort. During a spinal decompression procedure, our Queens chiropractor, Dr. Lee, uses pressure to help return the soft tissue of the disc to its proper place in the spine. As a result, pressure on the nerve is relieved and the disc is able to heal. If you are suffering from painful symptoms associated with herniated discs, we hope that you will visit our Spine Center to see how our non-surgical treatment options can help you.

Dr. Lee will then set up a treatment regimen that will relieve your back pain and restore your ruptured disc to its proper position. To help prevent future injury, Dr. Lee will also utilize chiropractic adjustments, muscle strengthening and exercises to improve the elasticity of the discs in your back.
