Symptoms of Disc Herniation

A herniated disc occurs when the soft gel center of the intervertebral discs in your spine has ruptured and is pressing outward. Herniated disc symptoms may be minor or severe, but the pain associated with this condition most often worsens over time.

In addition to back and torso pain, herniated discs can also result in weakness in the legs, leg or foot pain, numbness, and incontinence. Those suffering from a herniated disc may find it difficult to enjoy physical activities, which can lead to other health problems. The good news is, chiropractic adjustments can help!

In addition to back and torso pain, herniated discs can also result in weakness in the legs, leg or foot pain, numbness, and incontinence. If the disc injury is in the neck, common warning signs are neck pain, difficulty turning your neck, especially looking down, pain, numbness, or tingling into the shoulders, arm, or hands. It will likely be difficult to enjoy physical activities, which can lead to other health problems. The good news is, chiropractic adjustments can help!

Treating Disc Herniation: The Big Picture

Be Aligned Health offers the treatment you need for long-term relief from your herniated disc symptoms. It is important to address all of the components of a disc injury to give yourself the best path to recovery.


A disc injury typically involves problems with the structure of the spine shifting in a way that the disc becomes unstable: common culprits are poor posture or an injury.

Secondly, soft tissues are compromised with an injured disc.  Not only is the outer layer of the disc compromised, the annular fibers, supportive ligaments around the spine that help stabilize the area are often compromised as well.

In order to help recover the best from a disc herniation or bulge, all of these issues must be taken into account and the entire area must be aligned and healed properly.

Initially, we perform a comprehensive physical examination to assess the severity of your condition. We will review any previous imaging you may have, or order new depending on your needs.  We will then create an individualized plan of treatment.

We're dedicated to helping you find relief from your pain. We provide specific adjustments to the spine that help reduce nerve pressure, ease pain, and truly realign your spine to reduce the underlying cause of bulges and herniation. If you are looking for a way back to full health and mobility, schedule with us today! We are here to help you on your path towards recovery.
