Disc Injury Treatment

Disc injuries, including herniated discs and bulging discs, are common spinal conditions that can cause significant pain and disability. The intervertebral discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, and when they become damaged, they can press on nearby nerves and cause pain.

Types of Disc Injuries

Disc injuries range from bulging discs (where the disc extends beyond its normal boundary) to herniated discs (where the inner material pushes through the outer layer) to degenerative disc disease (where discs break down over time). Each type requires a specific approach to treatment.

Non-Surgical Disc Treatment

At Unity Wellness Chiropractic, we offer non-surgical treatment options for disc injuries including spinal decompression therapy, which gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the disc, helping to retract herniated material and promote healing.
