Common Symptoms for Herniated Discs

If you’re struggling with herniated discs, radiating pain, or discomfort from compressed discs and nerves, our unique approach provides lasting relief and helps restore your quality of life.

Some of the most common symptoms of herniated discs we see in our Bellevue office include:

  • Weakness: Reduced strength in arms or legs.
  • Numbness or Tingling: Sensations that radiate from the spine to other parts of the body.
  • Disc Pain: Ranges from dull aches to sharp, stabbing, or burning sensations.
  • Radiating Pain: Discomfort extending to the neck, arms, or legs, depending on the location of the herniation.
  • Sleep Problems: Difficulty sleeping due to disc-related pain.
  • Sudden or Gradual Onset: Symptoms may arise after an event or develop gradually.
  • Consistency: Pain can be constant, activity-related, or intermittent.

At the heart of our care is the Foundations of Posture Protocol—a two-phase process that corrects postural misalignments, restores proper function, and helps create long-term spinal health.

Causes of Herniated Discs

Herniated discs can result from various factors, including:

  • Accidents (car accidents, bike accidents, or falls).
  • Poor posture or chronic stress on the spine.
  • Degenerative disc disease.
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).
  • Muscle strains or ligament sprains.
  • Chronic injuries or repetitive strain.
  • Abnormal spinal curvatures (scoliosis, kyphosis).

Each case is unique, making it essential to identify and treat the underlying cause. Persistent symptoms or nerve-related issues, such as numbness or weakness, indicate the need for specialized care.  As you read through these lists of symptoms and causes, you can easily see how each case of herniated disc pain must start with proper diagnosis and a personalized plan to achieve lasting relief.

The Foundations of Posture Protocol: Our Unique Solution for Herniated Disc

Our approach targets the root cause of herniated disc pain with a customized two-phase process designed to provide lasting relief:

Phase 1: Relieve & Stabilize

This initial phase focuses on reducing pain, inflammation, and tension while stabilizing your spine. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including posture mapping and, if necessary, X-rays, to create a personalized care plan.

  • Targeted Chiropractic Adjustments
  • Cold Laser Therapy
  • Spinal Decompression Therapy
  • Stretching & Myofascial Release
  • Lifestyle & Nutrition Support
Phase 2: Regenerate, Rehabilitate, Restore

Once pain is managed, we work on strengthening your spine and posture for lasting results. This phase includes:

  • Rehabilitation Exercises
  • Postural Traction
  • Ongoing Chiropractic Adjustments

Throughout this process, we adjust your care plan to ensure the best results, empowering you to thrive and regain your active lifestyle.

Message of Hope from Dr. Cummins

Why We’re Passionate About Helping People with Herniated Discs

For my wife Anna and me, helping people recover from herniated disc pain is deeply personal. We’ve both faced the discouragement of being sidelined by pain that stops you from living fully. During my collegiate rowing career, I spent a full year recovering from a bulged lumbar disc—a humbling season that taught me how fragile and vital spinal health really is. And Anna knows that same challenge all too well; after childbirth, severe back pain left her unable to even lift our babies, wondering if she’d ever feel strong again.

Through postural chiropractic care, we both regained strength, movement, and confidence. That recovery wasn’t just about eliminating pain—it was about restoring the body’s alignment so healing could happen naturally.

At Cummins Chiropractic & Wellness, we’ve built our entire approach—the Foundations of Posture Protocol—around helping people heal from the inside out, especially when disc injuries seem to leave no options. You’re not meant to live restricted by pain; you’re meant to move freely and feel alive again.

I look forward to helping you restore your health, your posture, and your hope—so you can get back to what you love most, whether that’s training, lifting your kids, or simply enjoying life without limits.
