A herniated or bulging disc can press on a nerve and send pain far from where the real problem is — but surgery usually isn't the only answer.
The discs between your vertebrae act as cushions. When one bulges or its soft center pushes out, it can press directly on a nearby spinal nerve — and that's when the pain starts. Depending on where the disc is, you might feel it in your back, neck, or all the way down an arm or leg.
A focused exam pinpoints which disc is involved and which nerve it's pressing on — so we treat the actual source, not just the soreness.
Chiropractic adjustments and flexion-distraction decompression gently open space around the disc and take the pressure off the nerve.
Laser therapy reduces inflammation around the disc and nerve so you recover faster between visits.
In most cases, yes. By taking the pressure off the disc and the nerve it's pressing on, the body gets the chance to calm the inflammation and recover. Surgery is a last resort — not the first step.
Dr. Juarez combines gentle chiropractic adjustments with flexion-distraction decompression to relieve pressure on the disc, plus laser therapy to reduce the inflammation around the nerve. No drugs, no surgery.
Disc problems often cause pain that radiates into the buttock, leg, arm, or hand, along with numbness, tingling, or weakness — not just local soreness. A focused exam tells us what's really going on before we treat it.
