Herniated Disc

Herniated Disc Treatment in Lake Wylie, SC | Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic

Natural, Effective Relief from Disc Pain with Dr. Jeffery Awender

Understanding Herniated Discs

A herniated disc—sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc—occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer. This can place pressure on nearby nerves, causing back pain, leg or arm pain, numbness, or weakness. At Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic, Dr. Jeffery Awender provides gentle, conservative chiropractic care designed to reduce disc pressure, improve mobility, and help your body heal naturally.

If you’re searching for herniated disc treatment in Lake Wylie, SC, you’re in the right place.

Common Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

Herniated discs most often affect the lower back and neck. Symptoms may include:

  • Sharp or burning back pain

  • Pain radiating into the leg (sciatica) or arm

  • Numbness, tingling, or “pins and needles”

  • Muscle weakness

  • Increased pain with bending, lifting, twisting, or coughing

  • Decreased range of motion

Early care can prevent the condition from worsening and reduce long-term complications.

Causes of a Herniated Disc

Discs can herniate suddenly from an injury or gradually over time. Common causes include:

  • Spinal misalignment (subluxations)

  • Repetitive strain or poor posture

  • Degenerative disc changes

  • Heavy lifting or improper biomechanics

  • Sports injuries

  • Sedentary lifestyle or prolonged sitting

Dr. Awender performs a thorough chiropractic evaluation to identify the affected disc, assess nerve involvement, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Chiropractic Treatment for Herniated Discs

Chiropractic care is one of the most effective non-surgical approaches for herniated and bulging discs. At Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic, treatment may include:

Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments

Precise adjustments realign the spine, reduce nerve compression, and improve disc function.

Flexion-Distraction Technique

A specialized chiropractic method that gently stretches the spine, reduces disc pressure, and enhances spinal mobility.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Relieves tension in surrounding muscles that contribute to pain and nerve irritation.

Corrective Exercise Program

Strengthening and stabilization exercises support the spine and help prevent future disc problems.

Lifestyle & Posture Recommendations

Small daily adjustments in posture and movement reduce strain on the discs and promote faster recovery.

Chiropractic care is non-invasive, drug-free, and focused on long-term healing rather than temporary pain relief.
