Do a google search for "spinal dermatome chart"...It will show where spinal nerves go...look at the level on the chart and there's most likely the cause and remedy.
You need to find a Directional Non-Force Technique Chiropractor in your area for disc herniation. It most powerful and gentle adjustment you can have

Treatment for herniated disc start with oral anti inflammatories or short course of steroids, physical therapy if no relief we usually do epidural steroid injections.
When treating a patient experiencing pain from a herniated disc at Any Spine Chiropractic & Massage Studio, our approach is holistic and patient-centered. We focus on noninvasive techniques to alleviate pain and promote healing. Initially, we conduct a thorough evaluation to understand the severity and specifics of the herniated disc, as well as the patient's overall health and lifestyle.

Treatment may begin with spinal manipulation or adjustment, aimed at reducing disc herniation and relieving pressure on the nerves. This method enhances spinal movement and can significantly reduce pain and improve function.

Alongside adjustments, we incorporate massage therapy to relieve muscle tension and enhance blood flow to the affected area, supporting the body's healing process.

We also emphasize the importance of rehabilitation exercises tailored to strengthen the back and core muscles, improving posture and flexibility, and preventing future injuries.

In addition, we provide guidance on lifestyle modifications and ergonomics to reduce strain on the spine during daily activities, helping to prevent aggravation of the condition.

Our holistic approach aims not just to treat the symptoms but also to address the root causes of the pain, ensuring long-term relief and well-being for our patients. Each treatment plan is customized to meet the individual needs of our patients, with ongoing assessment and adjustment as necessary to achieve the best outcomes.
Flexion-Distraction and massage therapy is my gold standard for treating disc herniations. Treatment plans often follow as: 3x a week until pain has reduced by half, 2x a week until pain has reduced by half again, 1x a week until light exercise without pain, biweekly after no pain with strenuous exercise!
You need complete exam and diagnostics with licensed professional for a treatment plan.
