Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc in Woodbridge, VA
Gentle Support for a Disc That Is Under Pressure
A herniated disc can turn ordinary movements, like bending over a sink or getting out of the car, into something you plan around. Palmercare Chiropractic Woodbridge offers conservative care for disc-related pain.
We begin with a thorough exam to understand your symptoms, then build a plan that respects what the disc can handle.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc
The discs between your vertebrae act as cushions. When part of a disc pushes outward, it can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain in the back, neck, arm, or leg.
Dr. Eric Meyer and Dr. Todd Redfearn evaluate spinal motion, posture, and nerve function, and they use gentle techniques chosen to suit disc-related problems rather than forcing the area.
Patients with disc problems often report:
- Back or neck pain that worsens with sitting
- Pain or numbness traveling into an arm or leg
- Weakness in a limb
- Pain when bending, coughing, or sneezing
- Stiffness after rest
- Relief when changing positions
Your exam helps us decide whether chiropractic care fits your situation.
