Get chiropractic treatment for herniated discs at our Manhattan NYC clinic Your spine is built to handle the load that you place on it each day while you sit or stand. It's also built to stand against the load-bearing work that we all do, whether occasional or as part of an occupation. As we age, however, that function tends to diminish, and the potential for problems with spinal structures increases. A herniated disc is one of those painful spinal conditions that forces its way into almost every part of your life. Whether the result of long-term wear or a sudden trauma, the nerve pain from a herniated disc so often takes control of a person's life, leaving them feeling trapped and fearful that surgery might be in their future. Living Well Medical has a protocol for herniated disc treatment NYC that can help you stop the pain of disc herniation without surgery by conservatively treating it at the source.

Physically, a herniated disc occurs when the outer ring of a disc (called the annulus) is breached by the softer nucleus. The nucleus is primarily responsible for absorbing impacts, and as we age, the annulus can dry out, leaving it more susceptible to herniation. In the event that the nucleus does break through, it can push into the spinal canal which serves as the conduit for the body's main nerves. This brings the disc nucleus into contact with the spinal nerves, and over time, leads to irritation, inflammation and compression of nerve tissue. In the case of the lower back (i.e. lumbar spine), a herniated disc without treatment leads to the symptoms commonly referred to as sciatica.

Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

For all nerve compressions from spinal disc herniation, the symptoms can include severe pain (can be burning, shooting, or sharp), numbness, tingling, muscle weakness or pins and needles sensation (also called paresthesia). Depending upon the location and severity of the herniation, patients may experience pain in different areas. Typically, a herniated disc in the lower back will cause pain in the lower back and below whereas a cervical disc (of the neck) will likely cause pain in the neck, shoulders and upper back. Muscle weakness and numbness are generally associated with more serious cases, but only after a complete evaluation at our Soho clinic in Manhattan can a doctor make a determination.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "They're funny, smart, and professional. I actually found his office through Google reviews when I had some back issues after my move to NYC, and am incredibly grateful I did. I can't recommend Dr. Sho and his team enough."
