Chiropractic Care for Disc Herniation

Disc Herniation Chiropractor Fountain Valley

Neck & Back Pain Specialists >> Conditions >> Disc Herniation

Disc herniation can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in your neck, back, or legs. Dr. Balta is an experienced disc herniation chiropractor offering his services in Fountain Valley and nearby areas for more than 30 years now.

What is Disc Herniation Exactly?

You will suffer from a herniated disc when one of the rubbery cushions, or the disks between the bones in your spine, is damaged. Each disk has a soft center and an outer layer. When there’s a tear in the outer layer, the soft center gets out. This causes disc herniation.

The causes of this condition may vary. But it is usually from traumatic injuries, like falls. If you perform repetitive motions like bending or twisting, this condition may also arise. Improper lifting of heavy objects is also a common cause among our patients with disc herniation.

What are the Symptoms of Disc Herniation?

The level of pain or tingling may depend on the herniated disc and the nerve root that’s being pressed on. But here are the common symptoms of this condition:

Arm or leg pain
Your arm or leg may be numb or weak.
When you cough or sit, the pain may get worse.

How Does Dr. Balta in Fountain Valley Treat Herniated Disc?

Some patients don’t have any symptoms discussed above. If you do have symptoms, they get better over time. Most people don’t need to undergo surgical intervention. Surgery is only ideal if it involves neurological loss. Most patients in Fountain Valley choose to visit Dr. Balta to avoid taking synthetic medicines or undergoing surgery.

When visiting his clinic, you’ll be properly evaluated to know the proper plan for your condition. Dr. Balta will consider the nerve irritation and the level of pain involved before recommending these common treatments:

Most of our patients here notice significant improvement in their condition in the first two weeks.

Is a chiropractor a good idea for disc herniation?

Yes. Our chiropractor, Dr. Balta, can treat disc herniation. The chiropractor will improve how your spine moves to reduce your stress. With the right adjustment, you can function more comfortably without taking any medications.

How long does a herniated disc take to heal with chiropractic treatment?

You may recover in 12 weeks without surgery, depending on your body’s reaction to the adjustment. But your chiropractor will still evaluate your symptoms first. You may heal in less than 12 weeks or more than that.

Can you fully recover from a herniated disc?

Yes. It is possible to fully recover from a herniated disc. Many people do find complete symptom relief in 6 to 12 weeks without surgery or the use of medications.

How long will the first visit to the chiropractor take about your herniated disc?

The first visit can last between 45 minutes and an hour. It depends on your pain and your symptoms. The first appointment is usually longer.

What is the best chiropractic treatment for a herniated disc?

The best chiropractic treatment for disc herniation is the flexion-distraction technique. It’s a chiropractic adjustment that can reduce your pain and lower the pressure. Without medications or surgeries, your herniated disc can be completely healed with this treatment option.
