Treatment for Herniated Discs at Our Chiropractor Near You in Gig Harbor, WA

A herniated disc occurs when the inside of your spinal disc starts to protrude out of the outer layer. The disc is not ruptured, but there are changes in the shape because of the protrusion. This change in shape causes pain and discomfort. There are several reasons you might experience a herniated disc, from aging to an auto injury, and our chiropractor can provide back pain treatment for the herniated disc. At Convergent Therapies in Gig Harbor, WA, Dr. Luther Chau offers back pain treatment for herniated discs, auto injuries, disc degeneration, and other issues with the alignment of your spine causing pain.

Back Pain Relief Through Chiropractic Care

Back pain relief is possible when you go to our chiropractor near you in Gig Harbor, WA. You may discover that your pain decreases after your first session, although relief might be short-lived. Treatment with a chiropractor builds on the previous session, and it is beneficial to your overall health to go to our chiropractor several times in the first weeks of your treatment for back pain. As your back pain improves, the number of sessions you have with a chiropractor each week will decrease. The chiropractic adjustments and other therapies take time to reach full effect and consistency is critical to reach optimal health.

Back Pain Treatment with a Chiropractor

Your back-pain treatment will depend on what is causing your pain. If you have a herniated disc, the pressure your disc is exerting on a nerve ending can be relieved with decompression techniques and spinal adjustments. When the space between vertebrae is increased, your disc is better able to heal. Back pain treatment may also include massage, ultrasound, spinal adjustments, traction, and electrical muscle stimulation. Dr. Chau will talk to you about your treatment options, and assess your progress at the start of each visit. Chiropractic treatment is a natural alternative to traditional medication for back pain, and can be used in combination with other treatment modalities.
