Herniated Disc Conditions
and Symptoms We Treat

Herniated and bulging discs cause varying symptoms depending on which spinal nerves are affected. Before your treatment, our teams carefully review your history and concerns before discussing the right care for your needs. We evaluate and treat:

  • Herniated & slipped discs
  • Bulging discs
  • Sciatica & pinched nerves
  • Severe lower back or neck pain
  • Sharp pain traveling into an arm or leg
  • Tingling, “pins and needles,” or numbness in hands or feet
  • Difficulty bending, lifting, or transitioning from sitting to standing

These symptoms do not confirm a disc problem on their own. Their location, how they began, and whether they are changing all matter when deciding what to do next.

A Closer Look at Your Care Options
at Semlow Chiropractic.

If you’re looking for a chiropractor for a herniated disc, you may already have a diagnosis or you may be trying to understand why pain travels beyond your back. We offer several advanced, conservative therapies designed to relieve pressure and restore function.

DRX-9000
Spinal Decompression

For many disc patients, we utilize the DRX-9000. This specialized table applies gentle, controlled traction to the spine while you lie comfortably. By creating negative pressure inside the disc, decompression may help retract bulging material and promote the flow of healing nutrients to the injured area.

Targeted Chiropractic Adjustments

When appropriate, precise chiropractic adjustments can help improve restricted joint movement and reduce nerve irritation. Dr. Yanez carefully factors in your symptoms and comfort level; we do not use a "one-size-fits-all" approach, and adjustments are tailored to avoid aggravating disc injuries.

Exercises and Everyday Movement

Healing doesn't stop when you leave our clinic. We guide you through specific corrective exercises (often utilizing Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization principles) and provide strategies for daily activities. Our goal is to strengthen your core, stabilize your spine, and prevent future flare-ups.

Whether you’re considering herniated disc care or bulging disc treatment in Troy, an evaluation helps
determine which options may be appropriate.

Expert Care Led by Dr. Ryan Yanez

Choosing a herniated disc chiropractor starts with understanding how your concerns will be evaluated and how care decisions are made. Dr. Yanez is certified in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and trained in Active Release Techniques for the spine and lower extremities. He explains his recommendations so you can make an informed decision about your care.

What to Expect
at Your First Appointment

Your first visit is about getting answers. Dr. Yanez will review your history, assess your movement, and clearly outline your options.

Step 1
Deep-Dive
Consultation

We ask about your exact symptoms, health history, and previous treatments. If you have MRI imaging or reports, bring them, but they are not required to begin an evaluation.

Step 2:
Movement & Neurological Assessment

We evaluate your spinal mobility, nerve function, and biomechanics to pinpoint the source of your pain.

Step 3:
Your Customized
Roadmap

If chiropractic care is appropriate, we will explain the recommended plan, goals, and exactly how we will track your progress. If your condition requires a different medical specialist, we will refer you to the right place.

I had 3 serious disc issues that immobilized me. I couldn’t sleep, walk or find relief from pain. 3 surgeons (different specialties in different markets) all shared I can’t be healed without surgery. I’m 67 and very active and was afraid. Though reading much medical research and tons of YouTube videos I convinced myself to try another method. Looking online for a Dr. with a DRX9000 traction machine, we found Semlow. Dr. Ryan didn’t promise healing but felt I could improve and although after treamentt i might still require surgery, it would maybe make it less and easier. I feel he’s done his best. Today, I can walk, sleep well and do most things. And although I’m not 100% yet, I could live this way for the rest of my life. But I believe the trend of healing will continue to improve and get me there. I’ll add to this review once I can play golf, play pickle ball/tennis and ski. So grateful to God for bringing me here and for Dr. Ryan.

​I cannot recommend this office enough! They have been an absolute lifesaver for me, helping me both before and throughout my pregnancy. Navigating the aches and pains of pregnancy, not to mention helping me migraines! The care I received here made all the difference. ​The office space itself is so welcoming and comfortable, and their flexible hours make it so easy to schedule around a busy life. Every single time I visit, I always leave feeling completely adjusted, refreshed, and immensely better. If you are looking for compassionate, effective chiropractic care, this is the place to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
About Herniated Disc Treatment in Troy

Do I need an MRI before my appointment?

An MRI is not automatically required before an initial evaluation. Whether imaging is needed depends on your symptoms, history, and examination findings. If you already have an MRI or a radiologist’s report, please bring it with you.

Absolutely. Many of our patients come to us seeking a second opinion or a non-surgical alternative after receiving a diagnosis elsewhere. Let us know about any previous testing, injections, or physical therapy when scheduling so we can review your complete file.

There is no standard number of visits for every disc condition. Recommendations depend on your symptoms, findings, goals, and response to care. Your plan can be adjusted as your progress is reviewed.

Coverage depends on your plan and the specific services recommended. Semlow Chiropractic accepts most major insurance plans and can review your benefits, but that does not mean every service, including decompression, is covered. Contact us about payment options before starting care.
