Herniated Disc Care in Austin
A herniated disc can occur in the cervical or lumbar spine and may or may not be symptomatic. When symptoms are present, they can include localized pain, radiating pain, numbness, tingling or weakness depending on the structures involved.
Non-Surgical Options
MRI language should be correlated with the patient’s examination; we review available imaging in context rather than treating the image alone. Appropriately selected patients may be evaluated for DRX9000 decompression, chiropractic care or a combined conservative strategy. Significant neurologic deficits, red flags or failure to respond appropriately can require additional medical evaluation.
