Herniated Disc

Can a Chiropractor Help with a Herniated Disc?

February 05, 20252 min read

If you're dealing with the pain and frustration of a herniated disc, you might be wondering…


“Can a chiropractor help fix this?”


The short answer is: Yes, in many cases, chiropractic care can offer significant relief for a herniated disc by addressing the root causes of your pain and supporting the natural healing process.


Here’s how chiropractic care can help with herniated discs and what to expect:


#1. Gentle Spinal Adjustments*

Chiropractors use specific, controlled techniques to adjust misaligned areas of the spine. 


When applied carefully, these adjustments can help relieve pressure on the herniated disc and surrounding nerves, reducing pain and restoring mobility.


#2. Decompression Techniques  

Some chiropractors use decompression methods, which gently stretch the spine, creating space between the vertebrae. 


This space can help reduce pressure on the herniated disc, allowing it to heal over time and relieving symptoms like pain, tingling, and numbness.


#3. Posture and Movement Education

A chiropractor can help you understand how to move, sit, and stand in ways that reduce strain on the affected disc.


Proper posture and movement techniques play a huge role in supporting the healing process and preventing future disc issues.


#4. Strengthening and Rehabilitation  

Weak muscles around your spine can increase pressure on the discs.


A chiropractor may recommend exercises to help strengthen these muscles, offering added stability and long-term relief. 


These strengthening routines are customized to protect your back and help prevent re-injury.


#5. Avoiding Invasive Procedures  

Chiropractic care provides a conservative, non-surgical approach to herniated disc relief.


For many, it becomes a preferred option before considering more invasive procedures like injections or surgery.


While every case is unique, chiropractic care is often an effective option to help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve function


The goal is to provide relief while supporting the body’s natural healing capabilities.
