BULGING OR HERNIATED DISC?

Stuart, FL Herniated Disc

Over the past 20+ years I've had the privilege of helping patients all across the Treasure Coast area with their herniated disc / bulging disc problems.

Our clinic is different in that we dig, find, and FIX the root cause of the problem. We don't simply "mask" the symptom with a medication.

We'll determine the cause which will then determine our

course of action. In other words, a herniated / bulging disc will require different treatment than misalignments / subluxation.

We also have different methods of reducing / minimizing INFLAMMATION in the body...so we'll look at things from a nutritional perspective and make recommendations that will

reduce inflammation in the body.

If you're struggling with herniated / bulging disc challenges and can't get to the bottom of it, then give our clinic a call. Our methods are safe, natural, and highly effective.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR HERNIATED DISCS

Suffering from a herniated disc? Our professional Stuart, FL chiropractor offers advanced treatment options to address disc-related pain without surgery. We utilize specialized techniques, including spinal decompression therapy and precise adjustments, to relieve pressure on herniated discs and reduce nerve inflammation.

At Coastal Medical and Wellness Center we create customized treatment plans that may combine gentle spinal manipulation, therapeutic exercises, and advanced rehabilitation methods to promote natural healing of herniated discs. Patients report significant improvement in pain levels and mobility after receiving targeted chiropractic care for disc herniation, often avoiding more invasive medical procedures.

OUR APPROACH IS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT

Most people try to deal with their herniated discs using prescription or over-the-counter drugs. This may help to relieve the symptoms in the short-term, but not only are patients dealing with side effects, the underlying issue goes unaddressed.

Chiropractic treatment is a natural practice that addresses the structural cause that leads to the majority of disc challenges. Following a thorough chiropractic assessment aimed at ruling out other issues and finding the exact source of the problem, a personalized recovery plan is developed. Gentle adjustments to the spine along with Cox Spinal Decompression therapy can bring instant relief and restore long term health. Call our team at Coastal Medical and Wellness Center today to set up a consultation and bring an end to your disc challenges.

DISC ANATOMY

The little cushions that lie between your vertebrae are called the intervertebral discs . Each of these discs has a tough outer ring and a soft gel-like center. The job of your disc is to separate your vertebrae from one another. These discs act as cushions or shock absorbers so that the bones don’t make contact with each other as you move around.

A protruding disc occurs when the disc becomes asymmetrical and the gel bulges, oftentimes hitting / putting pressure on the nerve.

A herniated disc is when the disc material has ruptured to the point that the gel pushes outward / severelyirritating / putting pressure on the nerve.

A disc extrusion is the worst type of disc injury. This is when the gel balloons extensively into the area outside the vertebrae or breaks off from the disc.

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION

One of our treatment modalities for herniated or bulging discs is called spinal decompression, also known as non-surgical spinal decompression. It utilizes spinal decompression tables to relieve pain by creating a scenario in which the bulging or herniated disc tissue is able to move back into place and heal, alleviating the pain this condition causes.

Spinal decompression aims to help patients who suffer from debilitating pain due to bulging, degenerating, or herniated discs . It can also be used for the pain management and treatment of many causes of sciatica, injured spinal nerve roots, & worn out spinal joints.

The therapy itself works to stretch the spine in order to create negative pressure and space within the disc to allow disc fluid to move back into place. This creates an environment in which the disc can receive more nutrients & hydration and therefore heal itself more quickly and effectively.
