Exploring Nonsurgical Herniated Disc Treatment Options
While some people don’t experience any symptoms of a herniated disc, others have symptoms that persist or worsen over time. If you have tried home remedies for sciatica and herniated disc symptoms and haven’t found relief, it may be time to visit a chiropractor.
At Chapman Health Group, we offer nonsurgical, drug-free treatment options for herniated discs and bulging discs. Dr. Todd Chapman may recommend that you consider a combination of different non-invasive chiropractic therapies for herniated disc treatment, including chiropractic adjustments, intersegmental traction, massage therapy, therapeutic exercise, and spinal decompression in Leesburg, FL. Here is a look at how these therapies can relieve your pain and discomfort and help you return to your regular routine.
Chiropractic Adjustments
During a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Chapman will use his hands or an instrument to manually realign your spine and correct misalignments and imbalances. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve pressure on your sciatic nerve and the muscles and tissues that surround the spine. Adjustments also reduce inflammation and swelling and relieve pain, and can encourage herniated or bulging discs to retract back into place.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy uses motorized traction to gently and slowly stretch your spine. This creates negative pressure which can push a herniated or bulging disc back into place and push oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the spine to accelerate healing. Spinal decompression can relieve pressure on nerves and muscles, reduce pain and inflammation, relieve stiffness, and improve range of motion and mobility.
Intersegmental Traction
Intersegmental traction uses a roller table to gently move the spine and stretch the joints. This treatment method pulls the vertebrae away from the discs, relieves pressure on the nerves and muscles, and encourages the disc to move back into place. Intersegmental traction can improve mobility, relieve pain and stiffness, reduce swelling and inflammation, and restore elasticity to the spine.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the perfect complement to other nonsurgical herniated disc treatment options. When you receive massage therapy before chiropractic care, your muscles and spine will be more relaxed and receptive to treatment. When you get massage therapy after chiropractic care, you can relieve muscle pain and tension and enhance the effects of your chiropractic treatments.
