Herniated Disc Treatment in Lake in the Hills IL
Non-Surgical Care Using the Precise Disc Correction System™
If you’ve been told your MRI shows a herniated disc, you’re likely dealing with:
- Sharp or shooting pain
- Sciatica or arm pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness in the arm or leg
- Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or movement
A herniated disc is not just “back pain.” It is a mechanical and neurological problem that requires a higher level of care.
At Precise Chiropractic Center, we specialize in treating complex disc cases using a non-surgical, system-based approach.
What Is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc occurs when:
- The outer fibers of the disc are damaged or torn
- The inner disc material pushes outward
- That material presses on a nearby nerve
This is why herniated discs often cause intense nerve symptoms, not just localized pain.
The pain isn’t the problem — the pressure on the nerve is.
Why Herniated Discs Often Don’t Respond to Basic Care
Many patients with herniated discs try:
- Physical therapy
- Injections or medications
- Rest or stretching
- Basic chiropractic care
These approaches may reduce symptoms temporarily, but they often fail because:
- Disc pressure is not adequately reduced
- Joint mechanics are not corrected
- Damaged tissue is not properly healed
Without addressing all contributing factors, symptoms tend to return.
How We Treat Herniated Discs Differently
We don’t rely on one treatment.
We use the Precise Disc Correction System™, built on three core pillars that work together.
The Three Pillars of Disc Correction for Herniated Discs
Pillar 1: Mechanical Correction
We correct faulty joint mechanics that overload the disc and keep re-irritating the nerve.
This helps:
- Restore proper spinal motion
- Reduce abnormal stress on the injured disc
- Create a stable foundation for healing
Pillar 2: Nerve Decompression
Herniated discs require direct reduction of disc pressure.
We use advanced non-surgical spinal decompression to:
- Reduce pressure inside the disc
- Relieve compression on the nerve
- Improve disc hydration and nutrition
You cannot heal a herniated disc that remains under pressure.
Pillar 3: Tissue Regeneration
Herniated discs often involve damaged disc fibers and inflamed surrounding tissue.
We use SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology and Class IV Laser Therapy to:
- Accelerate tissue healing
- Improve blood flow and repair
- Strengthen the injured disc environment
Stabilization & Result Retention
Running in parallel with all three pillars is spinal stabilization.
From the start of care, we use:
- In-clinic stabilization strategies
- Later, targeted home exercises
To help:
- Protect the disc as it heals
- Prevent regression
- Make results last
This is not physical therapy. This is result protection.
Who Is a Candidate for Herniated Disc Care?
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Confirmed disc herniation on MRI
- Sciatica or arm pain with numbness or weakness
- Pain that has failed other treatments
- Been told surgery is the next step and want alternatives
Start With a Disc Evaluation
Not every herniated disc requires the same care.
That’s why we begin with a doctor-led Disc Evaluation to determine:
- The severity of the herniation
- The level of nerve involvement
- Whether non-surgical care is appropriate
