Herniated Disc Treatment from our Stone Mountain Chiropractor
Non-Surgical Relief from Back Pain & Sciatica
Have you been dealing with persistent back pain, sciatica, or numbness in your limbs? It could be more than just a pulled muscle, a herniated disc may be the root cause. At Stoneview Injury & Wellness Clinic, we provide targeted, non-invasive chiropractic treatment to relieve the pain of herniated and bulging discs, helping you get back to a pain-free life.
What Is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc (nucleus pulposus) leaks out through a tear in the tougher outer layer. This displaced material can press on surrounding nerves, causing pain, tingling, and even muscle weakness. Herniated discs are common after:
-
Auto accidents
-
Slip and fall injuries
-
Heavy lifting or repetitive strain
-
Poor posture or degenerative disc disease
Common Symptoms of a Herniated Disc
Depending on the location of the disc (usually in the lower back or neck), symptoms may include:
-
Sharp back or neck pain
-
Radiating leg or arm pain (sciatica)
-
Numbness or tingling in the limbs
-
Muscle weakness or instability
-
Pain that worsens with movement or coughing
-
Sometimes: no symptoms at all, especially if the herniation doesn’t press on a nerve
How We Diagnose a Herniated Disc
To properly diagnose a disc injury and rule out other causes of pain, Dr. Wilkerson may recommend:
-
MRI Scan – Visualizes soft tissue and nerve impingement
-
CT Scan – Offers a detailed view of spinal structure
-
X-rays – Helps rule out fractures or bone-related issues
