Do You Have a Herniated Disc in Keokuk IA?

Are you suffering from back pain and not sure what’s causing it? Herniated and bulging discs are common and affect about 35% of Americans—whether they’re feeling symptoms or not. At James Healthcare & Associates, we understand how severe and persistent disc damage can be. Here’s what you need to know—and how we can help.


What Is a Herniated or Bulging Disc?

Your spine consists of vertebrae cushioned by 23 intervertebral discs. Each disc has a tough outer layer (annulus) and a soft, jelly-like center (nucleus)—think “jelly donut." Over time—or after a sudden twist or lift—the annulus can weaken. This allows the nucleus to bulge or even rupture, pressing on nearby nerves and triggering pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.


Causes of Herniated Discs

Herniated discs in Keokuk IA often don’t happen overnight. Poor posture, spinal misalignments (subluxations), osteoarthritis, and the loss of healthy spinal curves can all weaken the disc over time. The final trigger may be something as simple as lifting a grocery bag, sneezing, or bending forward — and suddenly, the disc slips out of place.


How We Fix Herniated or Bulging Discs

At James Healthcare & Associates, we offer powerful, non-surgical treatments to correct disc issues and promote natural healing. After diagnostic imaging (MRI or X-ray) and a thorough exam, we design a custom treatment plan that may include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments – When appropriate, gentle corrections help improve alignment, mobility, and nerve function without twisting or cracking.
  • Class IV Laser Therapy – Penetrates deep into damaged tissues to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and stimulate cellular repair.
  • Physical Rehabilitation – Targeted movement, strengthening, and stretching protocols to stabilize your spine and prevent future flare-ups.
  • Regenerative Medicine – Advanced biologic treatments, including stem cell therapy, to rebuild damaged disc tissue and restore proper function.

Our care is precise, progressive, and tailored to your specific condition. We don’t offer cookie-cutter treatments — we offer real solutions for patients who have tried everything else.


We Specialize in Advanced Disc Conditions

We don’t just treat mild disc cases — we specialize in the tough ones. If you’ve been told your only option is surgery or you’ve tried everything with no results, this is where you start over. Our team handles complex, chronic disc problems with a layered, multidisciplinary approach that aims to relieve pain, restore function, and help your body actually heal. You deserve better than temporary fixes — and that’s what we deliver.
