A Torn Disc with
Room to Recover
A herniated disc has a tear that lets its soft center push outward. Care in Knox-Henderson aims to ease the pressure it causes.
Space for fluid and nutrients
Gentle decompression stretches your spine to reduce pressure on the injured disc. That can allow fluid and nutrients to flow back in as it heals.
Motion around the painful spot
Adjustments help the joints around your disc move again. Hands-on soft tissue work addresses the tight muscles that guard the injury.
One team for your recovery
At the clinic in Knox-Henderson, decompression and rehab belong to the same plan. Core exercises build spinal support and may reduce the chance of another herniation.
How We Treat
A Herniated Disc
Most plans pair decompression with the care below, set after your exam.
Spinal Decompression
A computer-guided table gently stretches the spine. That can ease pressure on the disc and let fluid and nutrients back in.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments that help restore motion to the joints around the injured disc.
Core-Strengthening Rehab
Exercises that build the muscles around your spine and can lower the chance of another herniation.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Hands-on work that loosens the tight muscles that often guard a painful disc.
Common Symptoms
Of a Herniated Disc
A herniated disc feels different from person to person. These are the signs patients describe most.
- Low Back PainAn ache or sharp pain across the low back, often worse when you sit, bend or lift.
- SciaticaPain that shoots from the low back through the buttock and down one leg.
- Numbness and TinglingPins and needles in the leg or foot, or in the arm and hand when the disc is in the neck.
- Muscle WeaknessMuscles fed by the pinched nerve can feel weak, so a foot drags or a grip slips.
- Neck and Arm PainA disc in the neck can send pain across the shoulder and down the arm.
- Pain When You CoughCoughing, sneezing or straining can sharpen the pain for a moment.
Why Patients Choose
Non-Surgical Disc Care
Dr. Currington has practiced for over 20 years, and the clinic is part of the Disc Centers of America network.
Try it before surgery
Many patients come in after being told surgery is their only option. Decompression is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment to try first.
Aimed at the disc
Care goes after the source of the pain, a disc pressing on a nerve, along with the pain itself.
An option after surgery
If pain comes back after back surgery, decompression may still be an option. Your exam checks for screws, rods or a recent fusion first.
One clinic, one plan
Decompression, adjustments, rehab and soft tissue work happen under one roof, planned by the same team.
