Herniated Disc Treatment in Belmar & Freehold, NJ

Understanding Herniated Discs

A herniated disc—sometimes called a slipped or bulging disc—occurs when the cushioning between your spinal bones pushes out of place, often pressing on nerves and causing pain. This condition can affect your neck, lower back, or even radiate pain down your arms and legs.

At Thrive Spine & Sports Rehab, we specialize in identifying the root cause of disc pain and providing comprehensive treatment plans to help you recover without unnecessary surgery. Learn more about other conditions we treat.

Common Causes of Herniated Discs

Disc injuries can result from:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA) – sudden impacts can compress or shift spinal discs. See our MVA treatment options.
  • Sports Injuries – high-impact activities or repetitive strain.
  • Heavy Lifting or Poor Mechanics – putting excess stress on the spine.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease – age-related wear and tear.

Symptoms of Herniated Discs

If you're experiencing any of the following, you may have a herniated disc:

  • Sharp pain in the back, neck, or along the spine
  • Sciatica – pain radiating down one or both legs
  • Tingling, numbness, or weakness in arms or legs
  • Limited range of motion and stiffness
  • Pain that worsens with coughing, sneezing, or sitting for long periods
