A herniated disc can cause intense pain, numbness, weakness, and serious limitations in your daily life. At ProRehab in San Marcos, we specialize in conservative, non-surgical treatments for disc-related conditions, helping you relieve pain, restore function, and avoid risky procedures.
Our integrated care team includes chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and acupuncturists, all working together to treat your condition from the inside out.
What Is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the outer layer. This can press on nearby nerves and cause:
- Lower back or neck pain
- Pain radiating into arms or legs (sciatica)
- Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness
- Difficulty standing, bending, or walking
- Shooting pain with movement or certain positions
It most commonly affects the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) regions.
Causes of Herniated Discs
- Repetitive lifting, bending, or twisting
- Sudden trauma or injury
- Poor posture or ergonomics
- Prolonged sitting or inactivity
- Aging and disc degeneration
- Improper form during physical activity
Understanding the root cause of your disc injury allows us to build an effective recovery strategy.
