Herniated Disc Treatment in Arlington, WA
Discs are the cushions between your vertebrae. When one bulges or herniates, it can press on nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness or weakness. Gentle, disc-safe adjustments and targeted rehab can ease the strain on the disc while it heals.

Treatment Options
Care We Use for Herniated Disc
Can a Herniated Disc Heal Without Surgery?
Many do. Conservative care such as chiropractic and rehab is often the first step. We will tell you if your exam suggests a surgical opinion.
Are Chiropractors Safe for Herniated Discs?
With the right approach, yes. We use gentle, disc-safe adjustments matched to your exam, along with rehab. If you have leg weakness that gets worse or loss of bladder or bowel control, see a medical doctor right away.
Does a Herniated Disc Ever Fully Heal?
Many herniated discs improve a great deal with time, and the body can reabsorb part of the disc material. Symptoms often settle within weeks to months with conservative care. We also work on posture and strength to protect the spine.
