How Chiropractic Can Help

At Lakeside Chiropractic, we always begin with a thoughtful and thorough evaluation. Dr. Battaglia will take time to review your health history, understand your current symptoms, and may recommend imaging such as an X-ray or MRI if needed. Once she understands where the disc is affected and how severe the issue is, she’ll talk with you about whether specific chiropractic methods for reducing pressure on discs can help or if another type of treatment may be more appropriate.

If chiropractic care is the right path for you, the focus will be on precisely targeting specific segments of the spine to reduce pressure on the disc and calm the irritated nerves. The goal is to relieve pain at its source, not just mask the symptoms, and help your body begin to heal naturally.

This healing process takes time and patience. Depending on your individual needs, your care may include regular adjustments, simple at-home exercises, and other supportive therapies. Many people start to feel gradual relief as their spine returns to better balance and their nervous system gets the chance to relax and restore itself.

When to Consider Other Options

In rare cases where symptoms are severe or don’t respond to conservative care, more advanced interventions such as surgery might be necessary. But often, a gentle, non-invasive approach is all it takes to get you feeling better and moving more freely again.
