Condition & Care Guide

Disc Injuries

Avoid risky spinal surgery. Our family clinic specializes in computer-aided spinal decompression to relieve disc compression and radiating nerve pain.

Understand Your Pain

Spinal discs act as shock absorbers between your vertebrae. When a disc is injured, its soft inner gel can bulge or herniate through the tough outer wall, compressing nearby spinal nerves. This results in intense local pain and radiating neurological symptoms. Decompression therapy creates space to heal.

Common Warning Signs

Severe, localized pain directly over the affected spinal segment

Shooting nerve pain radiating into the arms (cervical) or legs (lumbar)

Muscle weakness, foot drop, or difficulty lifting objects

Constant burning or tingling sensations in hands or feet

Pain that worsens when bending forward, sitting, or coughing

Our Treatment Approach

We focus on restoring mobility and relieving joint pressure through non-invasive techniques:

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Gentle, computer-controlled spinal traction that decompresses the disc space, encouraging herniated gel to retract and promoting nutrient flow.

Cox Flexion-Distraction

A hands-on chiropractic technique utilizing a specialized table to gently stretch the lower spine and relieve disc pressure.

Core Stabilization Protocols

Intense, low-impact exercises to strengthen the deep abdominal and multifidus muscles, creating a natural back brace.

Clinical Care Quality

Evaluations and treatments are run directly by Dr. David Sciortino and our clinical chiropractic care team.
