A bulging or herniated disc can cause deep back pain and pain into the leg. We use flexion-distraction, a gentle table-based technique that reduces pressure on the disc, along with core exercises matched to the direction your disc tolerates.
Disc cases usually need a longer plan, often 12 visits over six weeks. A six-week plan is $540 self-pay, and we bill insurance where your plan covers chiropractic care. We re-examine at week three and week six so you can see the progress in numbers.
What is included
- Flexion-distraction on a dedicated table
- Six-week disc plan: $540 self-pay
- Re-exam at weeks three and six
- Referral to a spine specialist when needed
Common questions
Will I need surgery?
Most disc herniations improve without surgery. If your exam shows progressive weakness or your pain is not improving, we refer you to a spine specialist.
I already have an MRI. Should I bring it?
Yes. Bring the report and the disc if you have it, and it may mean you do not need new X-rays.
