Non-Surgical Relief for Disc Bulges, Herniations & Sciatica

Serving Cary & Wake Forest, NC

If you’re struggling with disc bulges, herniations, sciatica, nerve pain, or chronic back/neck pain, our Disc & Nerve Decompression Program is designed specifically for you.

This is not a “typical chiropractic care” program.

This is an integrated, medical-grade system that combines:

  • Advanced Spinal Decompression
  • Class IV Laser Therapy
  • Chiropractic Adjustments (insurance-billable when appropriate)
  • Anti-Inflammatory Functional Medicine Support
  • Objective progress tracking

NEW PATIENTS

Our goal:
Fix the cause. Reduce inflammation. Restore motion. Help you avoid injections or surgery.

Who This Program Is For

You may be a good fit if you have:

  • Herniated or bulging lumbar or cervical discs
  • Sciatica or nerve pain into the arm or leg
  • Chronic low back pain or neck pain
  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Spinal stenosis
  • Post-surgical persistent pain (case-by-case)
  • Difficulty sitting, standing, bending, walking, or lifting
  • Pain that keeps returning, no matter what you try

This program is designed for active adults, busy professionals, athletes, and anyone wanting a non-surgical solution.

Why Disc Pain Is Different

Disc and nerve problems don’t heal like muscle strains or tight joints.

When a disc is injured:

  • Pressure builds inside the disc
  • The disc bulges or herniates
  • The nerve becomes irritated or compressed
  • Inflammation spreads
  • Muscles tighten to protect the area
  • Pain may travel down the arm or leg

What Makes Our Program Different

1. Decompression-First Approach

We use advanced spinal decompression (Hill DT or Back-on-Trac) to gently reduce disc pressure and create negative intradiscal pressure, helping the disc retract and heal. This directly addresses the root cause of most disc and nerve problems.

2. Class IV Laser Therapy

Our high-intensity class 4 laser:

  • Reduces inflammation
  • Improves circulation
  • Helps nerves recover faster
  • Speeds disc healing
  • Decreases pain safely and non-invasively

Laser dramatically improves the results of decompression.

3.  Chiropractic Adjustments (Covered When Appropriate)

We use gentle, precise adjustments to restore spinal motion and mechanics so the disc and nerve can heal.

These adjustments can often be billed to insurance.

4.  Anti-Inflammatory Functional Medicine Support

Disc injuries worsen when systemic inflammation is high.
That’s why our program includes:

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition guidance
  • Evidence-based supplementation (when appropriate)
  • Sleep, recovery, and stress support
  • Activity and movement coaching

When inflammation goes down, healing speeds up.

5.  Objective Progress Tracking

We measure:

  • Pain levels
  • Range of motion
  • Functional movement
  • Disability scores
  • Strength/motor patterns

You’ll see real, measurable improvement, not just “I think I feel a little better.”

How the Program Works

Step 1 — Disc & Nerve Examination

Comprehensive testing: orthopedic, neurological, functional movement, and imaging review.

We determine the severity:
mild, moderate, or severe disc involvement.

Step 2 — Personalized Care Plan

Your plan may include:

  • 12-24+ decompression sessions
  • Laser therapy every visit or every other visit
  • Chiropractic adjustments as medically necessary
  • Anti-inflammatory lifestyle plan
  • Home support & mobility strategies

Plans vary based on severity and how long you’ve been in pain.

Step 3 — Spinal Decompression + Class 4 Laser Therapy

You’ll receive targeted decompression followed by Class IV laser to reduce inflammation and speed healing.

Patients usually describe this combination as:
“Relief I haven’t felt in years.”

Step 4 — Chiropractic Care + Mobility Correction

We restore spinal biomechanics to stabilize the improvement and prevent relapses.

Step 5 — Re-Evaluations & Progress Metrics

Every 4-6 visits, we reassess:

  • Disc pain patterns
  • Nerve symptoms
  • Function
  • Movement quality
  • Strength activation

This ensures we are moving toward full recovery.

What Results Can You Expect?

Most patients report:

  • Less disc pressure
  • Reduced nerve pain
  • Better mobility
  • Improved sleep
  • Easier bending, lifting, and sitting
  • Stronger core activation
  • Longer-lasting relief
  • Fewer flare-ups

Increased confidence in movement

Some feel relief in the first few sessions.
Chronic cases may take several weeks, but the changes are foundational and lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does insurance cover this program?

Insurance typically covers chiropractic adjustments when medically necessary.

Spinal decompression and Class IV laser are not covered, so these are part of your treatment investment.

Do I need an MRI?

Not always. We can determine that after your examination.

Is decompression painful?

No. It’s gentle, controlled, and often relieving.

Is this for severe cases?

Yes — we treat mild, moderate, and severe disc injuries.

What if I’m not a candidate?

We’ll tell you honestly during your evaluation and guide you to the right next step.
