What Is It?

What Happens When a Disc Herniates?

Spinal discs are the shock-absorbing cushions between your vertebrae. Each disc has a tough outer ring and a soft gel-like center. When the outer layer tears — from injury, repetitive stress, poor posture, or aging — the inner material pushes outward and presses on nearby nerves.

This pressure causes pain that can radiate down the arm or leg, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. Our disc therapy programs target the pressure directly.

Can a Herniated Disc Heal Without Surgery?

Yes — for the vast majority of patients. Surgery is rarely necessary. Research shows most herniated discs respond very well to conservative care including spinal decompression and chiropractic treatment.

Our approach focuses on three core mechanisms: reducing intradiscal pressure, restoring spinal alignment, and improving circulation to allow the disc to rehydrate and repair naturally.

Gentle motorized traction creates negative intradiscal pressure, drawing herniated material away from the nerve.
