Lumbar disc herniation occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a lower back spinal disc pushes through a tear in its tougher outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves and cause sharp pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back, hips, and legs. It’s a common cause of sciatica and can seriously affect your mobility and quality of life.
At Family Chiropractic of Clark and New York, Dr. Tricia Mastropietro offers expert care for lumbar disc herniation using advanced chiropractic techniques. Our goal is to reduce nerve irritation, relieve pain, restore spinal alignment, and support your body’s natural healing — all without surgery or heavy medication.
