If you need herniated disc treatment in Germantown, WI, you may also have heard it called a slipped disc, a bulging disc, or a disc injury. It happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher outer wall and can press on a nearby nerve. That can cause back or neck pain, and pain, numbness, or tingling in an arm or leg. At Yentz Family Chiropractic we treat disc problems without surgery when your exam shows that is a good fit.
Disc pain can also show up far from the disc itself. That is why we test more than the spot that hurts.
We use the DOC Decompression Table for low back (lumbar) and neck (cervical) discs. It gently pulls and releases the spine to take pressure off a compressed disc and nerve. Each session lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. Our spinal decompression page lists a typical course of 15 to 25 sessions over 6 to 8 weeks. Your plan may differ, and not everyone is a candidate. We decide after the exam.
A disc in the low back is one of the most common reasons for leg pain. If your pain runs down one leg, read about sciatica treatment in Germantown. For general low back care, see our back pain page, or learn about our herniated disc service.
Short walks and changing positions often feel better than sitting still. We will tell you what is safe for your disc at your visit.
Some discs need a surgeon. If you have worsening weakness, or symptoms that do not improve with care, we will refer you. Go to the emergency room right away for loss of bladder or bowel control or numbness between the legs.

People use the words to mean the same thing. A disc does not actually slip out of place. Its soft center pushes out through the outer wall.
It is designed to be comfortable. You lie on the table while it applies a gentle pull and release.
Our decompression page lists a typical course of 15 to 25 sessions over 6 to 8 weeks. Your plan may differ, and we decide after your exam.
