A disc herniation or bulge occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes outward, potentially compressing nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs. At Optimal Movement, we treat disc herniations conservatively—helping many patients avoid surgical intervention. Chiropractic care uses precise, gentle techniques to reduce pressure on the affected disc and restore proper spinal alignment. SoftWave therapy targets the area of injury to reduce inflammation and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. Therapeutic massage releases protective muscle spasm and improves circulation to the injured area. Our rehabilitation protocols include directional preference exercises and core stabilization to support disc healing and prevent future episodes.
