Disc Herniation

A disc herniation happens when one of the cushioning discs between your spinal bones becomes irritated or damaged, allowing the inner portion of the disc to press on nearby nerves. This can cause back pain, neck pain, or symptoms that travel into your arms or legs.

For many people, a herniated disc can make sitting, bending, or sleeping uncomfortable. At Spring Hill Chiropractic, we help patients understand what’s happening in their spine and focus on natural, movement-based care to support healing and reduce nerve irritation.

Disc herniations often develop from a combination of stress, posture, and repetitive movement over time — though they can also happen suddenly.

Common causes include:

• Lifting heavy objects or lifting with poor form
• Repetitive bending or twisting
• Prolonged sitting or poor posture
• Age-related disc wear and tear
• Sudden injuries or accidents
• Weak core and supporting muscles

Our approach is focused on restoring healthy spinal movement and reducing pressure on irritated nerves — not just managing pain. During your visit, Dr. [Name] will carefully assess your spine, movement patterns, and symptoms and explain what’s contributing to your condition.

Your personalized care plan may include:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment and mobility
• Soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension around the affected area
• Movement-based rehab and stabilization exercises to support long-term healing
• Education on posture, lifting, and daily habits to protect your spine

Our goal is to help your body heal naturally and help you avoid unnecessary invasive procedures whenever possible.

• Local, family-focused care for Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station, and Columbia

Disc herniation symptoms don’t have to control your life. With proper care and movement support, many people see meaningful improvement and return to normal activities.
