Sciatica & Lumbar Disc Herniation
Evidence-informed rehabilitation for lumbar disc herniations, protrusions, and sciatic nerve radiculopathy, engineered to relieve radiating leg pain and restore core spinal stability.
Phase 1: Relieve Segmental Pressure
We utilize precise, gentle Chiropractic Adjustments and traction strategies to restore proper motion to the joints immediately above and below the compromised lumbar disc, systematically reducing localized mechanical stress and intradiscal pressure.
Phase 2: Unbind the Nervous System
If you are experiencing radiating pain, numbness, or tingling down your leg, we integrate targeted Clinical Neurodynamics & Nerve Mobilization. This specialized nerve-gliding protocol reduces compression, alleviates neural tension, and restores essential blood flow to the irritated nerve root.
Phase 3: Deactivate Protective Spasms
Severe disc herniations cause the surrounding global stabilizers (such as your glutes and lumbar musculature) to painfully lock down. We deploy Myofascial Release & Soft Tissue Therapy (ART) to safely clear these protective muscle spasms, breaking the pain-spasm cycle without irritating the nerve.
Phase 4: Core & Spine Stabilization
To protect the lumbar disc long-term, we build a Custom Exercise Therapy & Rehab program utilizing spine-sparing frameworks (such as the McGill protocols) to construct a resilient, stable muscular brace around your spine, preventing future micro-trauma.
