What Are Herniated and Bulging Discs?
Your spine is supported by soft, gel-filled discs that act as cushions between each vertebra, helping absorb shock and maintain flexibility. A herniated disc occurs when the inner gel-like center pushes through a tear in the disc’s outer layer—this is sometimes referred to as a slipped or ruptured disc. A bulging disc, in contrast, happens when the disc extends beyond its normal perimeter without fully breaking open.
Both conditions can press against nearby spinal nerves, triggering pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness—often felt in the lower back, legs, or arms depending on the location of the disc.
Common contributors to these disc problems include:
Poor posture
Repetitive strain or overuse
Improper lifting techniques
Degenerative disc disease
Acute or sudden trauma
Prolonged sitting or sedentary lifestyle
Weak core or back muscles
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Relieve Pain
At Crater Chiropractic, we use gentle, non-invasive methods to relieve nerve pressure, realign the spine, and encourage the body’s natural healing. Our care is personalized to meet your unique condition and goals—without medication or surgery.
Chiropractic treatment offers several important benefits. It provides drug-free pain relief, helping many patients avoid the need for medications or invasive procedures. Care also supports improved mobility and flexibility, making it easier to move without discomfort. By reducing nerve irritation and inflammation, treatment can address the root cause of symptoms rather than just masking them. And with customized care plans, each patient receives attention tailored specifically to their condition and goals.
