    Herniated Disc Treatment in Orlando, FL

    A herniated disc happens when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its outer layer and irritates nearby nerves, causing back or neck pain, sciatica, numbness or weakness. Most herniated discs improve without surgery. Orlando Spine and Wellness Center treats herniated discs with spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments and Class IV laser therapy for patients across Orlando, Lake Nona and Kissimmee.

    The basics

    What Is a Herniated Disc?

    Spinal discs are cushions between the vertebrae with a tough outer ring and a gel-like center. When the outer ring tears, the center can push out and press on a nerve root. Herniations are most common in the lower back and neck.

    • Tough outer ring holds the disc together.
    • Gel-like center cushions the vertebrae.
    • A tear lets the center push out.
    • The nerve root gets pressed and irritated.
    A herniated disc is different from a bulging disc, which extends outward without a tear.

    FAQ

    Herniated Disc Treatment: Frequently Asked Questions

    Still have questions? Our team is happy to help you find the right care. (321) 234-0124
    Can a herniated disc heal without surgery?
    Yes. Many herniated discs improve over weeks to months with conservative care as inflammation settles and disc material shrinks.
    Is it safe to see a chiropractor with a herniated disc?
    Yes, when care is tailored to your condition. Your doctor uses gentle techniques after a thorough exam.
    Does spinal decompression help herniated discs?
    Spinal decompression reduces pressure on the disc and nerve and is commonly used for herniated discs.
    How long does herniated disc recovery take?
    Many patients improve within 5 to 12 weeks, depending on the herniation and symptoms.
    What should I avoid with a herniated disc?
    Avoid heavy lifting, repeated bending, long sitting and high-impact activity until cleared by your doctor.
    Can a herniated disc cause leg numbness?
    Yes. A lumbar herniation can compress a nerve root and cause numbness or tingling in the leg or foot.
    Do I need an MRI for a herniated disc?
    An MRI may be recommended for severe, worsening or persistent symptoms.
    Can a herniated disc come back?
    It can. Core strength, good posture and safe lifting habits reduce the risk of recurrence.
    Is spinal decompression covered by insurance?
    No. Decompression is a cash-pay program, and we explain costs before treatment.
    Can a car accident cause a herniated disc?
    Yes. The force of a crash can cause a disc to herniate, even at low speeds.
