Herniated Disc Treatment at BodyFix Chiropractic
Are you struggling with the pain and discomfort of a herniated disc? At BodyFix Chiropractic, led by Dr. Adam Wild, we specialize in comprehensive, natural treatment options to help you regain your quality of life. Our clinics in Belmont and Medowie are dedicated to providing you with effective pain relief and long-term solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Understanding Herniated Discs
A herniated disc, often referred to as a slipped disc, occurs when the outer layer of an intervertebral disc tears, allowing the soft inner material (nucleus pulposus) to protrude. This can compress nearby nerves and lead to significant pain radiating from the back or neck to the arms and legs. While this condition can be more severe than a bulging disc, our targeted chiropractic treatments frequently yield lasting relief.
Common Causes of Herniated Discs
Herniated discs can arise from various factors, including:
Poor Posture
Extended periods of slouching or incorrect posture can weaken the discs, making them more susceptible to injury.
Improper Lifting Techniques
Lifting heavy objects without proper form increases the risk of disc damage.
Sudden Injuries
Accidents, falls, or even sudden movements like coughing or sneezing can cause a disc to herniate, especially if it was already compromised.
Everyday Strain
Routine activities, such as bending over to pick up something, can exacerbate existing conditions.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach
At BodyFix Chiropractic, we offer a wide range of evidence-based treatments that focus on natural healing and pain relief. Here’s how our services stack up to provide you with optimal care:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Dr. Wild utilizes gentle, precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) in the spine. This relieves pressure on the affected discs and nerves, promoting immediate relief and long-term healing.
Therapeutic Exercises
Our team designs customized exercise programs aimed at strengthening your core and improving your posture. This proactive approach not only alleviates pain but also helps prevent future disc issues.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
This non-invasive technique gently stretches the spine, reducing pressure on the discs and promoting healing. It’s particularly effective for those with bulging or herniated discs.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
This innovative treatment uses sound waves to stimulate healing in affected tissues, reducing pain and inflammation associated with herniated discs.
Class 4 Laser Therapy
Our advanced laser therapy promotes cellular repair and reduces inflammation, speeding up recovery times and enhancing the effectiveness of other treatments.
Dry Needling
This technique targets trigger points in muscle tissues, helping to relieve tension and pain associated with herniated discs.
Massage Therapy
Our licensed massage therapists provide targeted relief to tight muscles, improving circulation and enhancing overall treatment outcomes.
The Value of Regular Spinal Check-Ups
Regular evaluations are essential for identifying and addressing spinal issues before they escalate. At BodyFix Chiropractic, we prioritize your health and well-being, ensuring you receive personalized care that evolves with your needs.
