Treatment for herniated discs will depend on the severity of the condition. Generally, chiropractic sessions to help re-align the spine and alleviate pressure as well as massage therapy may provide temporary relief. Over time, physical therapy with a trained therapist can be utilized to strengthen underlying muscles in order to effectively alleviate symptoms. Often, rehabilitative exercises such as stretching and core strengthening are taught to patients who are trying to succeed in non-surgical approaches to treat herniated discs. Chiropractors may also utilize other treatments like ultrasound and electrical stimulation which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
