Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc in Flower Mound, TX
Conservative, gentle care for disc-related pain
A herniated disc can bring deep back pain, leg symptoms and anxiety about what comes next. Palmercare Chiropractic Flower Mound offers a careful, gentle approach to disc-related pain, with Dr. Madison Molitor explaining your options at every step and referring you when you need medical input.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc
Between each vertebra sits a cushion-like disc with a tougher outer layer and a softer center. If the outer layer weakens or tears, some inner material can push out and press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness or weakness.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons provides a clear explanation in its guide to a herniated disk in the lower back. Emergency care is needed for loss of bladder or bowel control, groin numbness or progressive weakness.
A herniated disc may cause:
- Low back or neck pain
- Pain, tingling or numbness traveling into an arm or leg
- Muscle weakness
- Pain that worsens when sitting, coughing or bending
- Relief when lying down or changing position
