In addition, there is close collaboration with primary care physicians and orthopedists. Patients benefit from the best of each of the branches of medicine.

Spinal discs are the small gel-filled cushions that protect the vertebral bones in the spinal column from rubbing against each other. When the spine is properly aligned, the discs act as spacers, providing flexibility and protection. When there is a misalignment of the vertebrae, also called a subluxation, the bones compress the soft cushions. They may bulge out into the surrounding tissue.

When the discs are bulging, ruptured, or herniated, their cushioning value is reduced. Herniation can also create pressure against nerve tissue at the nerve root. The pressure and resulting irritation can interfere with the free passage of nerve signals to and from the brain. The brain may also interpret the partial or blocked signals as pain. The pain can appear in the extremities, as headaches, or the result may be weakness and loss of function.

When a herniation is determined to be the cause of symptoms, the regimen proposed by the doctors involves reducing the compression of the disc and allowing it to rehydrate and heal naturally. This reduces the pressure on the surrounding tissue and improves the functionality of the affected nerves.
