Herniated Disc Back Pain Relief and Treatment Options

Content reviewed by Dr. Joseph D. Sas, DC

The intervertebral discs between all the vertebrae usually help you bend and twist while allowing spinal cord nerves to control all the functions and sensations in your body. Disc injury can cause several symptoms, depending on the nerves they pinch. If this scenario matches your experience, schedule an appointment with St. Louis chiropractor Dr. Joseph Sas for lasting, drug-free pain relief treatment: 314-909-9000. 

How Does Herniated Disc Injury Happen?

Spinal discs contain a gelatinous nucleus in the center, encased by a tough outer membrane, securely attached to the vertebrae on either side. Sudden injury, uneven pressure from long-term poor posture habits and the effects of aging can weaken the outer membrane, causing it to bulge (bulging disc), which may or may not pinch nerves. Without treatment, a bulge can split open, allowing the nucleus to squeeze out and pinch nerves. Typical symptoms of a herniated disc injury include:

  • Sharp back pain radiating down through the behind and into the legs (sciatica) when the injured disc is in the lower back.
  • If the herniated disc is in the upper back, pain shoots into the arms, shoulders, hands and/or neck.
  • You may also experience numbness and tingling and muscle weakness, making it hard to stand or pick up and hold objects.

Chiropractic Care for Natural Herniated Disc Pain Relief

Chiropractic care can successfully resolve herniated disc injury and provide welcome, long-term wellness and pain relief without the use of addictive painkillers. Chiropractor Dr. Sas can use gentle, precise chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal misalignments, whether due to injury or poor posture. Adding muscle adjustments and therapeutic exercises to treatment can help you maintain correct posture, which provides pain relief from pinched nerves and helps restore disc hydration and cushioning function.
