A disc diagnosis doesn't mean surgery.
When you hear “herniated disc” or “bulging disc,” it sounds serious. And it can be. But it doesn't automatically mean you need surgery, injections, or a life of medication. Many disc injuries respond well to non-surgical treatment.
At Back and Body, Dr. Brad combines chiropractic adjustments with spinal decompression therapy to treat disc injuries conservatively. Adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and reduce the mechanical stress on the disc. Decompression creates space for the disc to heal by reducing intradiscal pressure.
The key is an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Brad performs a thorough examination to understand exactly what type of disc injury you have, how severe it is, and whether conservative care is appropriate. He'll be honest — if your case requires a surgical referral, he'll tell you.
Non-surgical disc treatment benefits.
Spinal Decompression
Gentle traction creates negative pressure within the disc, encouraging bulging material to retract and promoting nutrient flow for healing.
Nerve Pressure Relief
Adjustments and decompression reduce the pressure on compressed nerves, relieving the pain, numbness, and tingling caused by disc injuries.
Avoids Surgery
Conservative treatment first. Many patients scheduled for disc surgery find relief with chiropractic and decompression. Surgery should be the last option.
Comprehensive Approach
Chiropractic adjustments, decompression, massage, and corrective exercises work together for complete disc injury recovery.
