Herniated Disc Care in Sturgis
If back or leg pain is making it hard to work, ranch, or even sit through the day, a herniated disc could be the reason. The sharp, burning, or aching pain can be scary, especially if it shoots down your leg or makes your foot feel numb. At Key City Chiropractic & Acupuncture, our team explains what’s going on in plain language and builds a plan that fits real life so you can move with confidence again.
Why Herniated Discs Hurt
A herniated disc happens when one of the cushions between your spinal bones bulges or tears and irritates nearby nerves. This can cause back pain, leg pain (often called sciatica), numbness, or weakness. Dr. Al Gunderson and Dr. Jerrid Goebel look at your posture, daily activities, and job demands to understand why your disc flared up. For many people, long hours of sitting, repetitive bending, slouching, and lack of movement are the main contributors, rather than a single big injury. When we find the “why,” we can give you better tools to keep it from coming back.
How Our Team Supports Herniated Discs
Care starts with reducing inflammation and nerve irritation so you can get relief. Chiropractic adjustments help improve how the joints and discs in your spine move, which can ease pressure on irritated areas. Dr. Gunderson and Dr. Goebel use the McKenzie Method, a system of repeated movements to discover your “directional preference” — the specific way of moving that reduces your pain. We may also recommend deep tissue laser sessions to calm inflammation and support tissue healing. Herniated disc care in our office can help with:
- Low back pain or stiffness
- Leg pain or sciatica-type symptoms
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or slouching
