Find Non-Surgical Relief from Your Disc Pain

Back pain can stop you in your tracks. When a disc in your spine bulges or herniates, the discomfort can radiate down your legs, make sitting unbearable, and turn simple tasks into major challenges. You might wonder if surgery is your only option, but there’s good news. Chiropractic care offers a proven, non-invasive path to healing that addresses the root cause of your pain.

How Discs Become Damaged

Your spinal discs act like shock absorbers between your vertebrae. Over time, these cushions can weaken from age, poor posture, repetitive movements, or sudden injuries. When a disc bulges, it pushes beyond its normal boundary. A herniation occurs when the soft inner material breaks through the tough outer layer. Both conditions can press on nearby nerves, causing pain that ranges from annoying to debilitating.

Natural Treatment That Works

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment to your spine, taking pressure off the affected disc and surrounding nerves. Woodstock Chiropractic uses gentle techniques like flexion-distraction therapy, which involves a special table that stretches your spine in a rhythmic motion. This approach creates space between vertebrae, allowing discs to move away from compressed nerves while improving circulation to promote healing.
