Herniated Discs and Pinched Nerves

Herniated Disc Treatment at Schroeder Family Chiropractic

What is a Herniated Disc?

Spinal discs act as cushioning structures between each vertebra, absorbing shock and allowing for smooth spinal movement. Each disc consists of strong annular fibers, which encase a gel-like nucleus in the center. A herniated disc occurs when the nucleus pushes through the outer annular fibers, often pressing on nearby nerves, causing pain, discomfort, and limited mobility.

Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, a herniated disc may be the cause:

• Deep, aching pain in the lower back, buttocks, or radiating down the leg
• Numbness and tingling in the lower body
• Difficulty standing upright due to discomfort
• Leaning forward or to one side to relieve pain

Can a Herniated Disc Be Treated Without Surgery?

In most cases, non-surgical treatment is highly effective for herniated discs. At Schroeder Family Chiropractic, we focus on restoring spinal function naturally, reducing pain, and promoting long-term healing.

Our comprehensive approach includes:

✅ Chiropractic Adjustments – Corrects spinal misalignment to relieve nerve pressure and restore mobility.

✅ Corrective Spinal Exercises – Strengthens core muscles and improves posture to support spinal health.

✅ Class IV Laser Therapy – Reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and enhances circulation beyond the body's natural abilities.

✅ Spinal Decompression Therapy – Gently stretches the spine to reduce disc pressure and promote rehydration of the disc.

Additional therapies, such as cold therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, bracing, and steroid injections, may also be utilized to enhance patient comfort and facilitate healing.
