How a Chiropractor Can Help With a Herniated Disc
When you’re suffering with back pain from a herniated disc, it can affect every part of your life. At Levinson Chiropractic in Sandy Springs, Georgia, Dr. Helene Levinson, D.C., will work with you to develop a treatment plan for your back pain. We utilize the most effective techniques and treatments to help our patients overcome the issues associated with a herniated disc, which can include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms and legs in addition to back pain. Our non-surgical, drug-free treatments are designed to provide relief from the symptoms of a herniated disc, along with promoting overall wellness.
Why Do Herniated Discs Cause Back Pain?
The bones in the spine are cushioned with discs, which are small, round, and filled with a substance called the nucleus pulposus. When a disc is herniated, some of the nucleus pulposus has been squeezed out and is protruding into the spinal canal. Because there’s limited room within the spinal canal, this causes pressure on nerves in the spine. Patients may experience severe back pain because of this pressure.
Treating Back Pain with Chiropractic Adjustments
A herniated disc, which is also called a bulged, slipped, or ruptured disc, can significantly disrupt your daily activities. An adjustment from Dr. Levinson can help reduce your back pain and get you back on your feet again. When our chiropractor adjusts the spine, she realigns it to shift pressure away from nerves. This can enable your body to correctly reposition the disc back in its correct position, which can provide pain relief.
Spinal Decompression Therapy From Our Chiropractor
At Levinson Chiropractic, we provide cutting-edge technology with our VAX-D Spinal Decompression Table. This FDA-approved device gently and painlessly aids in spinal decompression to treat back pain caused by herniated discs and other spinal conditions. Patients are positioned on the table, which is split into two halves. The lower half of the table slowly moves in the opposite direction of the top half during a 30-minute session, relieving pressure on the spine. Many patients experience pain reduction immediately after treatment.
