Treatment
Herniated or Bulging Disc Therapy
Non-surgical chiropractic and therapeutic care for symptoms associated with bulging, herniated, and degenerative discs.
Disc-related symptoms can have many contributing factors. Our individualized approach considers your symptoms, examination findings, history, and relevant imaging to help determine whether conservative care may be appropriate. When appropriate, care may incorporate computer-guided spinal decompression, chiropractic care, therapeutic rehabilitation, and postural or ergonomic guidance to support comfort, mobility, and everyday function.
