Disc Herniation
A disc herniation can lead to ongoing neck pain, back pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and radiating pain that travels into the arms or legs.
At Aventura Wellness & Rehab Center, we provide non-surgical treatment options for patients throughout Miami dealing with disc-related pain and nerve irritation.
Dr. Greaux and our team focus on identifying the source of your symptoms and creating personalized treatment plans designed to reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on irritated nerves, and improve overall mobility.
Whether your symptoms developed gradually or after an injury, our goal is to help patients improve function and avoid long-term limitations whenever possible.
What Is a Disc Herniation?
The discs between the vertebrae act as cushions that help absorb movement and pressure throughout the spine. A disc herniation occurs when part of a spinal disc pushes outward and irritates nearby nerves.
Disc injuries may develop from aging, repetitive stress, poor posture, lifting injuries, sports injuries, or auto accidents.
Depending on the location of the injured disc, patients may experience symptoms in the neck, back, arms, hips, or legs.
Common Symptoms of a Herniated Disc
Symptoms can vary depending on the severity and location of the disc injury.
Common symptoms may include:
- Lower back pain or neck pain
- Sciatica
- Numbness or tingling
- Pain radiating into the arms or legs
- Muscle weakness
- Stiffness and reduced flexibility
- Difficulty sitting, bending, or lifting
- Burning or shooting nerve pain
Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Disc Pain
Our office offers several therapies that may help reduce inflammation, improve spinal function, and support recovery from disc-related injuries.
Chiropractic Care
Manual adjustments may help improve spinal alignment, reduce restrictions, and improve movement throughout the neck and back.
Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy uses targeted light energy designed to help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support tissue recovery around irritated nerves and damaged soft tissues.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy may help stimulate circulation and support healing in tight or inflamed muscles surrounding the spine.
PEMF Therapy
PEMF therapy uses pulsed electromagnetic fields designed to support recovery, circulation, and inflammation reduction throughout the body.
Spinal Decompression for Disc Herniation
Spinal decompression is one of the most common non-surgical treatments used for disc herniations and disc-related nerve pain.
This therapy gently stretches the spine in a controlled manner to help reduce pressure on damaged discs and nearby nerves.
Many patients seek spinal decompression for conditions such as sciatica, bulging discs, herniated discs, chronic lower back pain, and neck pain.
By helping relieve pressure inside the spine, decompression therapy may help improve mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and support the body’s healing process.
At Aventura Wellness & Rehab Center, Dr. Greaux determines whether spinal decompression may be appropriate based on your symptoms, condition, and overall health.
Disc Herniations After Auto Accidents or Sports Injuries
Disc injuries commonly occur after car accidents, slip and falls, and sports injuries. Even low-impact accidents may place significant stress on the spine and lead to pain that develops days or weeks later.
At Aventura Wellness & Rehab Center, we help patients recover from disc-related injuries with personalized treatment plans designed around their symptoms and recovery goals.
