What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc is a condition that occurs mostly in the neck and back. It is characterized by cracks in the discs allowing the elastic center to squeeze out. Dr. Shay and our team at Marsch Chiropractic Center in Orangeburg provide chiropractic care for herniated discs.

The Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

The most common symptoms of a herniated disc include the following:

  • Leg or arm pain. If the disc is herniated in the lower back, the symptoms will include pain in the thigh, buttocks, and calf. Some patients experience pain in the feet. If a herniated disc is located in the neck, then the person will likely have pain in the arm or shoulder.
  • Weakness. People with herniated discs may feel weak and be unable to hold and lift objects.
  • Tingling and numbness. The body part connected by the affected nerves may experience radiating numbness and tingling.

Many people have herniated discs without any symptoms at all. You may not even know that you have a herniated disc without getting an x-ray.

Chiropractic Care For Herniated Discs

Chiropractic care is used effectively to address herniated disc symptoms. At your first appointment, our chiropractor will check your medical history, complete a physical exam, and perform several neurological and orthopedic tests. Chiropractic care is considered an effective treatment method for many patients suffering from herniated discs. It is non-invasive, painless, and provides long-lasting results.
