Written By Cy-Fair HealthCare Associates on March 20, 2020

Herniated Disc Treatment in Houston TexasHerniated discs hurt. A lot. 

If you’ve ever suffered from a herniated disc, you can testify to how painful it is. 

A herniated disc is the medical term for the condition in which one of the protective cushions that sit between the spinal vertebrae move out of position. Just like a shock absorber, the discs in the spinal column absorb shock, facilitate the movement of the spinal column, and prevent damage to the spinal cord.

However, when one slips, the discs can press on the nerves or spinal cord, ultimately causing extreme pain.

The traditional method for treating herniated disc pain is using opioid drugs as pain killers. If those don’t work, then surgery is considered to address the underlying cause. Both options are expensive and invasive.

Chiropractic for Herniated Disc Pain Treatment

Chiropractors can treat the underlying cause of the pain without pain killers or surgery. Experts at treating the spine, neck, and back pains, they can treat herniated discs without invasive procedures.

If you have a herniated disc, your chiropractor will work with you to develop an individual treatment plan that is appropriate for your injury. Some of the techniques they may use include:  

  • Flexion-distraction – to gently stretch and elongate the spine with special equipment.
  • Pelvic Blocking – to relieve symptoms of a herniated disk.
  • Manual Manipulation & Stretching – to reposition the spine, remove joint restrictions, and relieve tight muscles around the affected area.

Each treatment plan, formulated by a chiropractor, starts with a full assessment of the spine and neurological functioning. Followed by treatments that not only relieve the symptoms but also remove the underlying structural abnormality.
