A herniated disc can cause significant pain, limiting your ability to move, sit, or even sleep comfortably. It occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes out, often pressing on nearby nerves. At Miracle Life Chiropractic, we help patients manage and recover from herniated discs with safe, non-invasive care that promotes natural healing.
