What Is a Herniated Disc?


A herniated disc—sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc—occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves, leading to symptoms like:



  • Sharp or burning pain in the lower back or neck
  • Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
  • Muscle weakness or difficulty with movement
  • Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or lifting


While disc herniations can happen suddenly due to injury, they also occur gradually with age and spinal wear-and-tear.


Our Approach to Herniated Disc Relief


At Oak Hills Chiropractic, we don’t just mask your symptoms—we aim to correct the underlying spinal dysfunction and help you heal naturally. Our multi-step approach includes:


1. Comprehensive Evaluation

We start with a full consultation, physical exam, and imaging (if needed) to understand the severity and location of the herniation.


2. Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments

Using precise, controlled techniques, we realign the spine to reduce nerve pressure, restore movement, and encourage the disc to return to its proper position.


3. Spinal Decompression Therapy

Our advanced decompression table gently stretches the spine, creating space between the vertebrae to allow nutrients and oxygen to reach the damaged disc and aid in healing.


4. Therapeutic Exercises and Rehab

We guide you through custom exercises to strengthen core muscles, improve posture, and prevent future disc problems.


5. Lifestyle and Ergonomic Coaching

Small changes to your daily habits—how you sit, sleep, and move—can make a big difference. We provide personalized tips for protecting your spine long-term.
