Herniated/Bulging Discs

Treatment for Lumbar and Cervical Herniated Discs

A herniated or bulging disc occurs when one of the discs between the vertebrae becomes damaged or shifts out of its normal position. When a disc places pressure on nearby nerves, it can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.

At Village Family Clinic, we evaluate disc-related symptoms and develop personalized care plans designed to reduce discomfort, improve spinal mobility, and support proper spinal function.

Lumbar Herniated or Bulging Discs

A lumbar herniated disc affects the lower back and may cause pain that extends into the buttocks, hip, or leg. When a lumbar nerve is compressed, symptoms may include sciatica, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot.

Common contributing factors include age-related disc degeneration, repetitive lifting, poor posture, and injuries.

Cervical Herniated or Bulging Discs

A cervical herniated disc occurs in the neck and can irritate nerves traveling into the shoulder, arm, and hand. Symptoms may include neck pain, arm pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness.

Chiropractic Care and Spinal Decompression

Treatment depends on the location and severity of the disc problem. At Village Family Clinic, care may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, therapeutic exercises, stretching, and soft-tissue techniques.

Spinal decompression uses controlled, gentle forces to help reduce pressure on affected areas of the spine and may be appropriate for certain disc-related conditions.
