Disc Herniations (or Bulges): How to Heal Naturally from Neck and Low Back Disc Injuries

Understanding Disc Herniations (or Bulges)

A disc herniation (sometimes called a “slipped” or “ruptured” disc) occurs when the soft inner gel of an intervertebral disc pushes through its tougher outer layer.

This can irritate or compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

Disc herniations (or bulges) can occur anywhere in the spine — most commonly in the neck (cervical spine) or low back (lumbar spine).

Common Causes

• Repetitive strain or poor posture
• Improper lifting or sudden twisting movements
• Prolonged sitting or sedentary lifestyle
• Age-related disc degeneration
• Trauma such as car accidents or sports injuries
• Even sneezing or coughing!

At our Newmarket chiropractic clinic, we often see disc herniations or disc bulges develop gradually — the result of years of poor spinal mechanics and muscle imbalance, not just a single incident. We are your stop for non-surgical disc recovery.

Symptoms of a Disc Herniation

Cervical (Neck) Disc Herniation/Bugle:

• Neck pain radiating into the shoulder or arm
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand or fingers
• Headaches or restricted neck movement

Lumbar (Low Back) Disc Herniation/Bulge:

• Low back pain radiating down the leg (sciatica)
• Numbness or tingling in the buttocks, thigh, or foot
• Muscle weakness or difficulty standing or walking

If you’ve been told you have a herniated disc or bulge or you have an MRI report— and are experiencing these symptoms — there are safe and effective ways to help the disc heal naturally without surgery.

Herniated Disc Treatment in Newmarket at Chiropractic on Eagle

At Chiropractic on Eagle in Newmarket, Ontario, we use a proven, three-part approach that focuses on correcting the cause of disc pressure and restoring normal spinal mechanics.

1. Corrective Chiropractic Care

Gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments help restore normal motion and alignment to the spine. When spinal segments move properly, pressure is reduced on the disc and surrounding nerves — allowing the body to begin healing naturally.

2. Spinal Decompression Therapy

Our non-surgical spinal decompression table creates negative pressure within the disc, helping to retract herniated or bulging material away from the nerve root. This relieves pain and promotes nutrient and fluid exchange for faster healing.

This treatment is highly effective for both cervical and lumbar disc herniations, especially when combined with corrective chiropractic adjustments.

3. Corrective Exercises and Postural Rehabilitation

We prescribe targeted stabilization and mobility exercises to strengthen weak muscles and restore balance to the spine. These help prevent re-injury and ensure long-term results.
