Pain radiating down your leg due to a herniated disc is a common and often debilitating condition. At Sirucek Chiropractic Neurology Clinic in Meridian, Idaho, Dr. Dax Sirucek and Dr. Maria Sirucek offer unmatched expertise and cutting-edge treatment options to help patients find relief from this condition.
Understanding Herniated Discs
A herniated disc occurs when the inner, gel-like nucleus of a spinal disc protrudes through the outer fibrous ring, often causing pressure on nearby nerves. This can lead to radiating pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected area, typically the lower back and legs. Herniated discs are often the result of trauma or degenerative changes in the spine.
Chiropractic Care: A Proven Solution
While surgery is sometimes necessary for severe cases, research has shown that chiropractic care can be an effective non-surgical approach for many patients with herniated discs and radiating pain. In a 2009 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 73.9% of patients experienced clinically meaningful improvement in pain intensity after receiving chiropractic treatment, and 80% reported “good” or “excellent” overall improvement.[1]
