DISC INJURY (Union, NJ)

Chiropractic Care for Disc Injuries in Union, NJ

Disc injuries can affect how you sit, stand, work, and move — often causing sharp pain, nerve irritation, or limited mobility. At Touchstone Chiropractic Center, we offer natural, non-invasive care for disc-related injuries to support healing, function, and long-term spinal health.

Whether your discomfort started suddenly or developed gradually, chiropractic care may help reduce pain and improve everyday movement.

What Is a Disc Injury?

Between each vertebra is a soft disc that cushions the spine and allows for flexibility. When a disc becomes irritated, bulges, or herniates, it can place pressure on surrounding nerves or tissues.

Common disc injuries include:

  • Bulging disc
  • Herniated disc
  • Disc protrusion or extrusion
  • Degenerative disc issues


Disc injuries can affect the neck, mid-back, or lower back — often impacting mobility and comfort.

Common Symptoms of Disc Injuries

Disc injuries may present as:

  • Sharp or burning pain
  • Radiating nerve symptoms (arms or legs)
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Sciatica-like leg pain
  • Weakness with lifting or walking
  • Pain when sitting or bending
  • Nighttime or morning stiffness


If symptoms persist, they may indicate deeper spinal involvement.

What Causes Disc Injuries?

Disc injuries may result from:

  • Heavy lifting or twisting
  • Repetitive stress
  • Poor ergonomics or posture
  • Sudden impact or falls
  • Sports injuries
  • Age-related changes
  • Sedentary lifestyle

Even small habits — like prolonged sitting — can influence disc health over time.

Our Disc Injury Approach at Touchstone Chiropractic Center

Your treatment plan may include:

  • Gentle spinal adjustments
  • Traction or decompression strategies (when appropriate)
  • Corrective movement & core stability
  • Ergonomic & posture coaching
  • Lifestyle adjustments for daily comfort


Plans are personalized based on severity, goal, and activity level.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Disc Healing

Chiropractic adjustments help improve spinal alignment, movement, and function. When the spine moves better, discs experience less stress and pressure.

Potential benefits include:

✔ Reduced nerve irritation
✔ Better mobility and range of motion
✔ Improved posture and mechanics
✔ Less inflammation and tension
✔ Enhanced function during work & daily tasks
✔ Reduced risk of future flare-ups

We aim to help patients move and feel better — not just manage symptoms.
