Herniated discs usually occur in the lower back or neck, and can cause arm or leg pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. These symptoms can make it difficult to work, enjoy your regular daily activities, and even get a good night’s sleep. 

If you have been diagnosed with a herniated disc or are experiencing symptoms, spinal decompression therapy can help you get back on your feet. Our experienced chiropractors at ChiroConcepts of McKinney can evaluate your symptoms, perform onsite diagnostic imaging, and provide holistic chiropractic care, including spinal decompression, at one of our five North Texas locations. 

What Causes a Herniated Disc? 

The most common cause of a herniated disc is normal wear and tear or aging that leads to disc degeneration. You may be at a higher risk of a herniated disc if you are overweight, have a genetic predisposition, or have a job that either is physically demanding, or requires you to remain sedentary for long periods of time.

Herniated discs can also occur due to accidents or injuries like car accidents, slip and falls, and sports injuries. If you have symptoms of a herniated disc that last longer than a week or that come and go over a period of time, visit us at ChiroConcepts of McKinney for an expert diagnosis.

What Is Spinal Decompression? 

Spinal decompression therapy utilizes a state-of-the-art traction table that stretches the spine. The goal is to realign the spine and reduce pain and inflammation. Spinal decompression is safe and non-invasive. The procedure only takes about 30-45 minutes, and should be done weekly for best results.

Spinal decompression ultimately reduces the pressure on pinched nerves, eliminating symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling. In addition to treating herniated discs, spinal decompression therapy can also be used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, side effects of pregnancy, broken vertebrae, and patients who have had spinal surgeries without relief or recovery.
