Disc herniation facts | non-surgical options
D.C., Chiropractor, Cary H. Rothenberg. Professional license 15265498.
Many herniations improve with conservative care. Evaluation reviews symptoms, exam, and studies if you bring them. Plan set in evaluation; no promise of results from the first session.

What to know
Truth starts with your exam, not fear headlines. Evaluation outlines conservative options and when referral is appropriate.
When to book evaluation
- Pain or stiffness that limits work, sleep, or daily activity.
- Symptoms into the buttock or leg, or numbness.
- Episodes that do not improve with brief rest.
- Recent imaging you want reviewed in the visit.
Do not book here for loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the genital or anal area, leg weakness that is getting worse, or pain after a major injury. That is an emergency.
