If you’re suffering from low back pain, sciatica, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness caused by a lumbar disc herniation, finding the right treatment can be challenging.
At Rosenberg Wellness Center, Dr. Jeffrey Rosenberg provides personalized chiropractic care, spinal decompression, Cox® Technic Flexion-Distraction and Decompression, Active Release Technique® (ART®), and Graston Technique® for patients seeking a conservative, non-surgical approach to lumbar disc injuries.
Located in Midtown Manhattan, our office serves professionals, executives, healthcare workers, attorneys, finance professionals, commuters, and athletes looking for solutions that may help reduce pain and improve function without surgery or injections.
A lumbar disc herniation occurs when the outer fibers of a spinal disc become damaged, allowing disc material to protrude outward. This may place pressure on nearby spinal nerves and contribute to symptoms affecting the low back, buttocks, hips, and legs.
Lumbar disc herniations are one of the most common causes of sciatica and nerve-related leg pain.
Common Symptoms of a Lumbar Disc Herniation
Symptoms may include:
✔️ Low back pain
✔️ Sciatica
✔️ Pain radiating into the buttock, hip, thigh, calf, or foot
✔️ Numbness or tingling in the leg
✔️ Muscle weakness
✔️ Difficulty standing or walking for prolonged periods
✔️ Increased pain when sitting
✔️ Pain with bending, lifting, coughing, or sneezing
Symptoms can vary depending on the location and severity of the disc injury.
Lumbar disc herniations may develop from:
✔️ Repetitive bending and lifting
✔️ Prolonged sitting
✔️ Poor posture
✔️ Sports injuries
✔️ Degenerative disc changes
✔️ Motor vehicle accidents
✔️ Sudden twisting movements
✔️ Age-related spinal wear and tear
Many professionals working in Midtown Manhattan spend long hours sitting at desks, commuting, and working on computers, which may contribute to increased stress on the lumbar spine.
Spinal decompression is designed to gently reduce pressure on spinal discs and surrounding nerve structures.
By creating a controlled decompressive force within the spine, treatment may help:
✔️ Reduce pressure on irritated nerves
✔️ Improve disc mechanics
✔️ Promote circulation to spinal tissues
✔️ Improve mobility
✔️ Support the body’s natural healing process
Many patients report that spinal decompression feels gentle, comfortable, and relaxing.
Dr. Rosenberg utilizes Cox® Technic Flexion-Distraction and Decompression, a specialized chiropractic treatment that uses a uniquely designed table to gently decompress the spine.
This approach may help:
✔️ Reduce intradiscal pressure
✔️ Improve spinal mobility
✔️ Decrease stress on spinal joints
✔️ Reduce nerve irritation
✔️ Improve overall spinal function
Unlike more forceful techniques, Cox® Technic utilizes controlled movements designed to provide a comfortable treatment experience.
Disc injuries often create compensatory muscle tightness and soft tissue restrictions throughout the lower back, hips, glutes, and legs.
Active Release Technique® may help address:
✔️ Muscle tension
✔️ Scar tissue formation
✔️ Soft tissue adhesions
✔️ Reduced flexibility
✔️ Movement restrictions
Improving soft tissue function may help support overall recovery and movement quality.
Graston Technique® utilizes specialized stainless-steel instruments to identify and address soft tissue restrictions.
Treatment may help:
✔️ Improve tissue mobility
✔️ Address adhesions
✔️ Improve flexibility
✔️ Support movement patterns
✔️ Reduce soft tissue dysfunction
Many individuals diagnosed with lumbar disc herniations may benefit from conservative care before considering more invasive options.
Candidates may include:
✔️ Office workers
✔️ Executives
✔️ Healthcare professionals
✔️ Attorneys
✔️ Athletes
✔️ Runners
✔️ Golfers
✔️ Tennis players
✔️ Active adults
A comprehensive examination is necessary to determine whether treatment is appropriate.
