Herniated Disc Relief in Lincoln
What Happens When a Disc “Slips”?
At Adjusted Life Chiropractic, we understand how disruptive and uncomfortable these conditions can be. Dr. Spencer and Dr. Maddy take the time to listen to your specific concerns and develops a customized care plan designed to address your unique situation.
Why Do Herniated Discs Happen?
There are several reasons why you might experience a herniated disc. The natural aging process often leads to disc degeneration, making them more vulnerable to herniation. Sudden injuries or trauma to your spine can also cause discs to rupture, as can repetitive movements that place ongoing strain on your back. Many of our practice members develop herniated discs from improper lifting techniques at work or home, while others have a family history that makes them more susceptible to this condition.
Many of our practice members find comfort in understanding the “why” behind their pain. Our Doctors take time to explain your specific situation in terms you can understand, helping you feel more in control of your healing journey.
Recognizing the Signs Your Body Is Sending
Your body has a remarkable way of signaling when something isn’t right. With herniated discs, you might notice pain in your neck or back that can range from sharp to dull and persistent. Many practice members describe discomfort that radiates down their arms or legs, similar to sciatica symptoms. You might also experience numbness or tingling sensations in your extremities, unexpected muscle weakness during normal activities, or difficulty with everyday movements and coordination.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you’re not alone. Many of our practice members come to us with similar concerns and find significant relief through our gentle, effective care.
How We Identify Your Specific Needs
At Adjusted Life Chiropractic, we believe in thorough assessment before beginning any treatment. Dr. Spencer and Dr. Maddy conduct comprehensive physical examinations and detailed neurological assessments to understand how your nervous system is functioning. When necessary, we may recommend advanced imaging to get a clearer picture of what’s happening in your spine. Our state-of-the-art Insight™ Subluxation Station provides additional valuable information about your nervous system’s health.
Our Natural Approach to Herniated Disc Relief
Our approach focuses on natural, non-invasive solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our Doctors use gentle chiropractic adjustments, often employing the Torque Release Technique™ which many practice members find particularly comfortable and effective. We’ll provide personalized stretching and strengthening recommendations to support your healing and help prevent future issues. Throughout your care, we’ll educate you about posture and movement patterns that may be contributing to your condition and suggest lifestyle modifications that can support your healing process.
Many practice members appreciate our comprehensive approach that addresses not just the pain but the underlying causes of their herniated disc.
