Can a chiropractor help a herniated disc?
It depends on the disc and the nerve. A herniated or bulging disc happens when the soft center of a disc in your spine pushes out past its normal edge. It can press on a nearby nerve and cause pain, numbness or weakness.
Many people try non-surgical care first. Spinal decompression and spinal adjustments are often used to take pressure off the disc and the nerve. Some cases need a medical doctor or a surgeon instead. At Neu Life Chiropractic in Tomball, Dr. Rob Neuenschwander checks your spine with an exam and X-rays before he treats you.
What is the difference between a bulging disc and a herniated disc?
Discs sit between the bones of your spine and act like cushions. A bulging disc sags out past its normal edge, a bit like a tire low on air. A herniated disc has a tear in its outer wall, so some of the soft center pushes through.
Both can press on a nerve. Both are common in the low back and the neck. An MRI shows the disc itself. Our X-rays show the bones, the spacing and the line of your spine.
What does a herniated disc feel like?
A disc in the low back can cause pain in your back and buttock that runs down one leg. This is called sciatica. A disc in the neck can cause pain that runs into your shoulder, arm or hand.
You may feel numbness, tingling or weakness. The pain often gets worse when you sit, bend, lift, cough or sneeze. The cause matters, so we check first and treat second.
How does Neu Life treat a herniated disc?
Your plan depends on what your exam and X-rays show. It may include:
Spinal decompression
A slow, gentle stretch on our Back on Trac table aims to take pressure off a disc in your low back and the nerve. More on decompression.
Spinal adjustments
Gentle, precise adjustments help the joints above and below the disc move better. More on adjustments.
Exercises
Exercises you do after your adjustment and at home help your back get stronger and hold the change.
Daily habits
Dr. Rob shows you how to sit, lift and sleep so you put less load on the disc.
How do my first two visits work?
Visit 1: You fill out your paperwork. Dr. Rob talks with you one on one and does an exam. We take digital X-rays of your spine in our office.
Visit 2: Dr. Rob walks you through your X-rays and exam results. He tells you what he found and what he recommends. If you choose to start care, you get your first treatment and your plan.
We use two visits so we find the cause first, then treat it.
What does it cost to start?
As of October 2026, new patients can ask about our $65 new patient offer. Our team will tell you what it covers when you book. We are out of network, so you pay us at the visit. Our services are eligible for insurance reimbursement, so you can ask your plan about paying you back.

"They have helped me tremendously. I came to them in a wheelchair suffering from a bulging disc."
"I really liked the way Dr explained the current situation of the spine and plan to recover."
When should I go to the ER instead?
Go to the emergency room first if you suddenly lose control of your bladder or bowels. Go if you have numbness in your groin or inner thighs. Go if your leg or arm gets weak fast. These signs need care right away.
