San Diego Disc Herniation Treatment

San Diego Disc Herniation Treatment

If you're struggling with back pain, leg pain, or sciatica caused by a disc herniation, you're not alone. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in offering Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) to treat disc herniations and help patients find lasting relief—without surgery or medications.

What is a Disc Herniation?

A disc herniation occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc (nucleus pulposus) pushes through a tear or crack in the outer disc wall (annulus fibrosus). This causes the disc to bulge or rupture, which can press against nearby spinal nerves and cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness.

Herniations often occur in the lower back (lumbar spine) or the neck (cervical spine) and are one of the most common causes of back and leg pain.

How Does a Disc Herniation Happen?

Disc herniations can happen for several reasons:

  1. Repetitive Stress: Years of improper lifting, poor posture, or repetitive movements can cause wear and tear on the spinal discs.
  2. Trauma or Injury: A sudden fall, accident, or forceful movement can cause the disc to rupture or bulge.
  3. Degeneration: As we age, spinal discs lose hydration and flexibility, making them more susceptible to tears.
  4. Heavy Lifting: Lifting heavy objects improperly puts excessive pressure on the discs.

What Can Be Done to Help a Disc Herniation?

Treating a disc herniation requires a comprehensive approach to relieve pain, reduce pressure on the disc, and promote healing. While medications and injections might mask the pain temporarily, they do not address the root cause. Surgery is often presented as an option, but it comes with risks and long recovery times.

At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we focus on non-invasive treatments, including Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), to help you heal naturally and avoid surgery.
