Understanding Herniated Discs

Herniated discs are among the most painful spinal injuries. These discs, located between vertebrae, have jelly-like centers that provide support, flexibility, and shock absorption. However, trauma or awkward positioning can cause a disc to rupture, spilling its contents and irritating nearby nerves, sometimes causing severe pain.

Chiropractic Care for Herniated Discs

At Sweeney Health Centers in Franklin TN, our chiropractic team assesses the extent of the damage and creates a rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs. Contrary to common misconceptions, chiropractors do not simply “pop” discs back into place. Instead, treatment involves careful, expert care over time. If necessary, we will refer you to a surgeon, but conservative care is prioritized.

Effective Treatment Approach

• Assessment: Initial examination to determine the severity of the herniation.
• Therapy: Customized chiropractic therapy to relieve pain and promote healing.
• Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to track progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
