What Disc Herniation usually looks like

A disc herniation is a tear in the outer disc wall with inner material irritating a nearby nerve. Many people picture one lift. Most cases are years of repeated flexion, then one movement that finally hurts.

How a visit for Disc Herniation is different

McKenzie-style repeated movements are used when the exam shows a clear directional preference. Adjustments and soft-tissue work are added only where they reduce the nerve irritation instead of provoking it.
