Carpel Tunnel Syndrome

Herniated and bulging discs occur when the soft inner material of an intervertebral disc protrudes through its outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This can lead to back pain, radiating leg or arm pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. Disc injuries may result from sudden trauma, repetitive stress, poor posture, or age-related degeneration.

At Mission Chiropractic Santa Clara, we provide conservative, evidence-informed care to relieve pain, restore function, and support spinal health using chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and acupuncture. Here’s how we help:

Chiropractic Care with Spinal Decompression in Santa Clara CA

Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper spinal alignment, reduce abnormal joint motion, and relieve pressure on affected nerves. In selected cases, gentle spinal mobilization or decompression techniques may be used to decrease disc compression and improve circulation to the surrounding tissues, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Massage Therapy for Disc-Related Muscle Tension

Muscles around a herniated or bulging disc often become tight and protective, which can worsen pain and limit movement. Therapeutic massage, including myofascial release and trigger point work, helps relax these muscles, improve blood flow, and support the spine’s structural balance.

Acupuncture for Pain and Nerve Function

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be used to reduce inflammation, relieve nerve irritation, and promote pain relief. Acupuncture may also support neuromuscular function and enhance overall recovery when combined with chiropractic care.

Individualized, Evidence-Based Care

Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific disc injury, symptoms, and functional goals. Care is provided at an appropriate frequency and duration, with ongoing evaluation to ensure safe, effective, and measurable improvement.
