Intervertebral disk are the cushions between the bones in your spine (vertebrae). A herniated disk, also known as a slipped disk or ruptured disk, occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of the disk pushes through a tear in the tough outer ring. This can put pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your back, neck, or limbs.

Treatments are designed to manage your symptoms and promote disk dysfunction. Our approach includes:

• Spinal Adjustments: Gentle and precise adjustments can help realign the spine, taking pressure off the affected disk and nerves. This can reduce pain, inflammation, and improve nerve function.
• Decompression Therapy: This technique involves stretching the spine to create negative pressure within the disk, potentially allowing the herniated portion to retract.
• Therapeutic Exercises: We provide personalized exercises to strengthen your core muscles, improve flexibility, and promote proper spinal alignment. This can help stabilize the spine and reduce pressure on the disk.
• Lifestyle Advice: Our chiropractors will offer guidance on posture, ergonomics, and other lifestyle modifications to help prevent further disk problems and support your overall spinal health.
