Find Lasting Relief: Non-Surgical Care for Disc Herniations & Bulges
Suffering from debilitating pain caused by disc issues?
At Elite Wellness Chiropractic in Bee Cave, we specialize in identifying and correcting the underlying spinal dysfunction that contributes to disc herniations and bulges, empowering you to reclaim comfort and function without surgery.
What Our Patients Say About Disc Pain Relief
Your spinal discs act as cushions between your vertebrae. When they bulge (protrude) or herniate (rupture), they can press on nerves, causing severe pain, numbness, and weakness.
At Elite Wellness Chiropractic, we focus on precisely identifying the spinal misalignments and pressure points contributing to your disc issues, and implementing corrective care for lasting relief, often helping you avoid surgery.
What Our Patients Say About Disc Pain Relief
“For the last three weeks I’ve visited Dr. Mikala at Elite Wellness Chiropractic. I thoroughly enjoy their unique approach to treating the whole body. I work in the dental field, yrs of leaning awkwardly have reeked havoc of my posture.
With Dr. Mikala’s help the discomfort my sciatic nerve produced is almost nonexistent, frequent headaches are a thing of the past and last but not least I feel so darn good! I noticed positive results after the fifth visit about a week and half.
The office staff is so welcoming, the hugs are the best.”

Common Questions About Disc Herniations & Bulges
Spinal discs are like cushions between your vertebrae. A disc bulge occurs when the disc pushes out evenly around its circumference, while a disc herniation (or ruptured disc) happens when the soft inner material pushes through a tear in the outer disc wall. Both can press on nerves.
Yes, chiropractic care, especially a corrective approach, is highly effective for many cases of disc herniations and bulges. We focus on precisely restoring spinal alignment and reducing pressure on the discs and surrounding nerves to alleviate pain and promote healing.
Yes, when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor, adjustments for disc issues are considered safe and effective. We use gentle, specific techniques tailored to your condition, often helping patients avoid more invasive procedures.
Our non-surgical approach aims to correct the underlying spinal mechanics contributing to your disc problem. By restoring proper alignment and reducing nerve pressure, the body is often able to heal naturally, allowing many patients to achieve significant relief without the need for surgery.
Yes, we utilize before-and-after X-rays as a cornerstone of our corrective care. This allows us to precisely identify the structural issues in your spine contributing to your disc problem and objectively track your progress toward improved alignment and nerve function.
Common symptoms include sharp or burning pain in the back or neck, pain that radiates down an arm or leg (like sciatica), numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected limb, and pain that worsens with coughing, sneezing, or prolonged sitting.
Recovery time varies greatly depending on the severity of the disc issue, how long you've had it, and your body's individual healing capacity. Our corrective care focuses on sustainable results, with a personalized plan developed for your unique journey.
Chiropractic adjustments don't forcefully 'push' the disc back. Instead, they work by restoring proper motion to the spinal joints, which helps to alleviate pressure on the disc, create space for the nerve, and allow the disc to naturally retract and heal.
Absolutely. Poor posture (especially forward head posture or slouching), prolonged sitting, improper lifting techniques, and a lack of core strength can all place excessive, uneven stress on spinal discs, contributing to bulges and herniations over time.
