Treating a Herniated Disc

Located between each vertebra of the spine is an intervertebral disc that acts as a shock absorber and shock distributor and provides flexibility. A herniated disc occurs when its tough outer layer tears and the jelly like inner core bulges or protrudes outward. Although some people experience no symptoms, others can have pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg resulting from nerve irritation which adversely impact their quality of life. Chiropractic care is a non-surgical treatment option for treating herniated discs. Upon the initial appointment, a skilled chiropractor will conduct a thorough physical examination and may order an x-ray or MRI to assist with the diagnostic process. They may perform spinal adjustments, traction, cold laser and spinal decompression.

Chiropractic is a system of therapy that focuses on adjusting the alignment of the spine to help with back pain and posture problems. This nonsurgical approach is a longstanding therapy for chronic pain and mobility issues. Please call 860-621-2225 to schedule an appointment. We are located at 200 Queen St., Southington.
