If you’re feeling sharp, shooting pain down your leg — maybe burning, maybe numbness — you might be dealing with a bulging or herniated disc pressing on a nerve. That kind of pain can make it hard to sleep, walk, or even sit. You’ve probably tried rest, painkillers, or even physical therapy… but the pain keeps coming back.
At Elliott Chiropractic in Lenoir City, we help people just like you get real, lasting relief — without drugs or surgery.
What’s Causing the Pain?
Your spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) with soft, cushion-like discs between them. These discs can bulge or slip out of place, putting pressure on nearby nerves — especially the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down your legs. That’s what causes the intense leg pain, weakness, or tingling you might be feeling.
How Chiropractic and Spinal Decompression Help
At Elliott Chiropractic, we use two proven, non-invasive techniques to relieve pain at the source:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle, targeted adjustments help realign the spine, reduce inflammation, and take pressure off irritated nerves. This restores movement and promotes healing — without medications masking the symptoms.
Science Check: Studies have shown that spinal manipulation can significantly reduce pain and improve function in patients with disc-related conditions. It also improves joint mobility and supports your body’s natural ability to heal.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
This FDA-cleared therapy gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure inside the disc. That helps pull the bulging material back into place and brings fresh blood and nutrients to speed healing.
Many patients feel relief in just a few sessions — and continue improving over time.
Why Choose Elliott Chiropractic?
We’re not a one-size-fits-all clinic. Dr. Elliott takes time to understand your condition, using detailed spinal exams and on-site digital X-rays to get a clear picture of what’s causing your pain.
Then, we build a custom treatment plan designed for your body and your goals — whether that’s getting back to work, walking without pain, or sleeping through the night again.
