Disc Issues in Blue Bell & Spring House
If you’ve been told you have a bulging, herniated, or degenerating disc, it can sound scary. The good news? Many disc issues respond very well to the right kind of care.
At Community Chiropractic Center, our team has over 75 years of combined experience helping patients in Blue Bell, Spring House, and throughout Montgomery County get back to living and moving comfortably.
What Is a Disc Issue?
Your spinal discs are soft, cushion-like structures that sit between each vertebra. Think of them as shock absorbers for your spine. When they’re healthy, they help you bend, twist, and move without pain.
When a disc irritates a nearby nerve, you might notice any of the following:
- Low back or neck pain
- Sciatica (pain that travels down the leg)
- Numbness or tingling in an arm or leg
- Muscle weakness
How Do Disc Problems Happen?
Disc issues can develop from repetitive bending or lifting, sports injuries, car accidents, poor posture over time, or normal aging and spinal wear. As an athlete and long-time provider for local sports teams, Dr. Mark Legnola has seen firsthand how both high-impact activities and everyday desk work can stress the spine.
“Many disc injuries don’t happen overnight—they build up over time. Our job is to identify what’s driving the problem, take pressure off the nerve, and support the body’s natural healing process before considering more invasive options,” says Dr Mark.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Our approach is never one-size-fits-all. After a thorough consultation, exam, and X-rays (if needed), we create a personalized plan designed around your goals. Care may include gentle, focused chiropractic adjustments, specific spinal manipulation techniques, electrical muscle stimulation, targeted traction, and home exercises and posture recommendations.
We focus on reducing inflammation, improving alignment, and strengthening the muscles that support your spine, so you’re not just masking symptoms, but addressing the underlying issue.
What Our Patients Our Saying
My herniated disc left me with constant back and leg pain. Chiropractic disc treatment, including decompression therapy and gentle adjustments, reduced the nerve pressure and inflammation. Today, I’m pain-free, active, and avoiding the surgery I once thought was inevitable.”
Spinal Decompression Therapy for Disc Relief
For certain disc conditions, we may recommend non-surgical spinal decompression therapy using our advanced DOC Decompression Table. This therapy gently stretches the spine in a controlled, computer-guided pattern. By reducing pressure inside the disc, decompression can improve blood flow and nutrient exchange, reduce nerve irritation, create space for the disc to heal, and relieve sciatica and radiating pain.
Sessions typically last 15 to 25 minutes, and many patients find them relaxing. Spinal decompression is often combined with chiropractic adjustments and complementary therapies for the best results.
