Herniated Disc Care in San Antonio, TX
Helping You Heal Naturally — Without Relying on Injections or Surgery
If you’ve been told you have a herniated disc, you may worry that your only options are medications, injections, or even surgery. At Aloha Wellness – Chiropractic and Nutrition, we’ve helped many patients avoid more invasive procedures by addressing herniated discs with a holistic approach that restores spinal alignment, reduces nerve pressure, and supports the body’s natural healing ability.
With over 25 years of experience, we understand how to carefully tailor care for disc problems — so you can move forward with less pain, more confidence, and a spine that’s stronger for the long term.
What is a Herniated Disc?
Your spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) separated by discs — small, cushioning pads with a soft center (nucleus) and a tougher outer ring (annulus). These discs act like shock absorbers and keep your spine flexible.
A herniated disc (also called a slipped or ruptured disc) occurs when the inner gel-like center pushes through a tear in the outer layer. This can irritate or compress nearby nerves, causing symptoms like:
Sharp or burning pain in the back or neck
Pain that radiates into the buttocks, legs, arms, or shoulders
Numbness, tingling, or a “pins and needles” feeling
Muscle weakness or difficulty lifting objects
Pain that worsens with bending, twisting, coughing, or prolonged sitting
Herniated discs most often occur in the lower back (lumbar spine), but can also affect the neck (cervical spine). Without proper care, they can lead to chronic pain and increased degeneration over time.
How We Help at Aloha Wellness
Gentle, Targeted Chiropractic Adjustments
Our approach isn’t about forceful twisting or risky maneuvers. We use precise, gentle adjustments to reduce pressure on the disc and improve alignment of the vertebrae, creating more space for irritated nerves. This helps calm inflammation and allows tissues to start repairing.
Functional Muscle Testing & Nerve Assessments
Through advanced muscle testing and Insight scans, we evaluate how your nervous system is coping and identify imbalances that contribute to disc stress. This guides a customized plan that supports your body where it needs it most.
Supporting Disc & Tissue Healing with Nutrition
Discs rely on good circulation and nutrient delivery to heal. Through Nutrition Response Testing, we identify dietary factors or deficiencies that may slow repair. We build a whole-food plan — often paired with professional-grade supplements — to promote collagen rebuilding, reduce inflammation, and support nerve health.
Corrective Movement & Posture Coaching
We teach you safe ways to sit, stand, lift, and move so you protect healing discs and avoid aggravating the area. We may also recommend gentle exercises to stabilize supporting muscles, reducing future flare-ups.
Expected Benefits & Results
Patients with herniated discs often experience:
Gradual reduction in sharp, shooting pain
Less numbness or tingling in arms or legs
Improved flexibility and easier daily movements
A stronger core and better spinal stability
Fewer future flare-ups because underlying imbalances are addressed
Perhaps most importantly, many patients are able to avoid injections or surgery by giving their body the right environment to heal naturally.
