HERNIATED DISC TREATMENT • COLORADO SPRINGS
Non-Surgical Relief for Herniated Discs with Spinal Decompression
Burning leg pain, numbness, or tingling from a herniated disc? At DBH Chiropractic we use gentle spinal decompression, laser therapy, and chiropractic care to help take pressure off irritated nerves—without drugs or surgery.
No long-term contracts required. We’ll review your MRI/X-rays (if available) and design a personalized plan based on your specific disc injury.
Herniated disc or disc bulge symptoms we see every week:
Do These Sound Like You?
Shooting pain down one leg (sciatica) when you sit, cough, or bend.
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in your foot or leg.
Pain that eases when you lean forward or lie down, but always comes back.
You've tried rest, meds, or basic chiropractic with only temporary relief.
UNDERSTAND YOUR DISC PAIN
What Is a Herniated Disc & Why It Hurts So Much
A herniated or “slipped” disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes out and puts pressure on nearby nerves. That nerve irritation is what causes sharp leg pain, burning, tingling, or weakness. The goal of care at DBH Chiropractic is to gently reduce that pressure and help the disc heal—so you can sit, walk, and sleep again without constant pain.
Nerve Pressure
Herniated discs often pinch the sciatic nerve roots in your lower back, creating pain that travels into the hip, thigh, calf, or foot.
Inflammation & Swelling
Herniated discs often pinch the sciatic nerve roots in your lower back, creating pain that travels into the hip, thigh, calf, or foot.
Root Cause vs. Quick Fix
Pain pills and muscle relaxers may mask the symptoms for a few hours. Our focus is on addressing the underlying disc and nerve irritation so relief can actually last.
HOW WE HELP
Disc-Focused, Non-Surgical Treatment at DBH Chiropractic
We’ve built our office around helping people with disc herniations, disc bulges, and sciatica. Your specific plan may include spinal decompression, laser therapy, gentle chiropractic adjustments, and customized home care.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Our decompression table gently “unloads” the disc, creating negative pressure that can help reduce herniation and take pressure off irritated nerves.
Class IV Laser & Soft Tissue Work
Laser therapy and targeted muscle work help calm inflammation, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing response around the injured disc.
Gentle Adjustments & Disc Rehab
We use gentle chiropractic techniques and disc-friendly exercises to stabilize your spine, improve movement, and help keep symptoms from constantly returning.
Every herniated disc is different. Some patients respond quickly with a short plan, while more advanced disc injuries need a phased program of care. We’ll be honest about what we see, what we recommend, and what it will take to get you the best possible result.
ROADMAP TO RELIEF
From Struggling to Sit to Finally Moving Again – in 3 Clear Phases
We keep your care simple: first we listen and test, then we treat consistently, and finally we help you maintain the progress you’ve made so the pain doesn’t just bounce back.
1
Disc Evaluation & Diagnosis
We start with a focused exam and history: where the pain travels, what makes it worse or better, and what your MRI/X-rays show (if you have them). We’ll confirm whether your symptoms match a true herniated disc and map out a personalized plan.
2
Intensive Disc-Focused Treatment
During this phase, you’ll typically be in the office multiple times per week for decompression, laser, and gentle adjustments. The goal is to reduce nerve pressure, calm inflammation, and get you back to daily activities with far less pain.
3
Stabilize & Maintain Your Results
As you improve, visit frequency tapers down. We’ll shift the focus toward stability, strength, and smart habits so your disc and spine stay supported long-term. Many patients choose occasional maintenance visits to help prevent flare-ups.

FAQ
Herniated Disc & Decompression – Common Questions
Still unsure if this is right for you? Here are a few of the most common questions patients bring in.
Decompression can be a great option for many disc herniations and disc bulges, but it’s not right for everyone. During your exam we’ll review your symptoms, test your nerves, and consider any imaging you have to see if you’re a good candidate.
That depends on the severity and chronicity of your disc injury. Some patients respond quickly in just a few weeks, while others with more advanced issues need a longer program. We’ll give you a clear, written recommendation after your initial visit—no surprises.
Most patients find decompression comfortable and relaxing. You’ll feel a gentle stretching sensation as the table cycles through phases of pull and release. We can adjust the settings to keep you within a comfortable range at all times.
Your new patient visit includes a consultation, focused exam, and review of your history, X-Rays if needed and your 1st treatment. If we believe we can help, we’ll walk you through recommended treatment options and pricing. Any additional services or imaging will be discussed with you first.
Many of our disc patients have tried traditional chiropractic adjustments with only temporary relief. The difference here is our focus on the disc itself using decompression and laser, plus stabilizing rehab and a clear, phased plan instead of one-off visits.
