How To Get Safe Herniated Disc Relief With Chiropractic In Cincinnati

February 25, 2013•2 min read

Cincinnati chiropractors provide alternative therapies to help those suffering with various conditions. Seeking chiropractic care can provide remedies that traditional care is not able to. Chiropractic care is non invasive and a drug free way to aid ruptured or herniated discs.

The herniated disc develops when the tissue between the discs is pushed out and puts pressure on the surrounding nerves of spines. A chiropractor can offer a very effective and natural approach to managing the pain associated with this condition. Spinal adjustments and other techniques are used to correct the disc problem.

The trained professional will work to address the cause of the problem in an effort to heal and eliminate pain. Identifying and eliminating the cause of the discomfort produces a long term effect. Instead of providing a quick fix, the goal is to promote healing and overall health by getting to the source of the problem. The chiropractor uses a more holistic approach to finding a remedy.

Realigning the spine is commonly used by the chiropractic professional to remedy a bulging disc. Adjusting the spine will ease the disc back in place relieving pressure on the nerves. By relieving the pressure, the pain and discomfort will subside. The adjustment is done by a succession of firm mild thrusts to the specific area affected.

Other techniques are used by the chiropractor to correct a bulging disc. One method used to correct the problem involves lying on a table while the practitioner stretches the spine and applying pressure to gently reposition the disc. Ice is applied when using this technique to help reduce inflammation.

Most folks suffering with a bulging disc experience a reduction in discomfort and improved range of motion following a number of sessions with Cincinnati chiropractors. These results indicate that a spine has been successfully realigned. Swelling and pain is eliminated and the spine returns to its previous state.
