While we may not always know what is wrong with our body, we do know there\u2019s something not quite right. If you\u2019re experiencing low back pain that radiates, or if you\u2019re feeling a pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in your legs, it\u2019s possible you have a herniated disc. You may also feel a burning in your low back and legs or even your arms, and be leaning to one side.<\/p>\n

If you feel any or all of these sensations or if you feel pain with active motion, you may have a herniated disc, which is the inside of a disc being forced outward, putting pressure on the nerve. There are many treatments to relieve the pain and discomfort of a herniated disc, including spinal decompression, adjustments, and trigger point injections. You may also find relief in massage or via exercises and stretching.<\/p>\n<\/div>
