Herniated or Slipped Discs
Lasting relief, not band-aids. Personalized chiropractic care for herniated or slipped discs in La Cañada Flintridge & Pasadena.
What is Herniated or Slipped Discs?
A herniated or slipped disc occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc pushes through its outer ring, often pressing on nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Spinal decompression techniques, gentle adjustments, and rehabilitative exercise help relieve pressure on the disc and surrounding nerves — frequently helping patients avoid surgery.
