Relief from Herniated Disc Pain in Rhode Island

If you are suffering from the discomfort and pain of a herniated disc, DeCrescenzo Chiropractic is here to help. Serving patients across Rhode Island, our team of skilled chiropractors provides comprehensive care to relieve your pain and restore your quality of life.

What is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the more rigid outer layer. This can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness, often in the lower back or neck. Herniated discs can severely impact daily activities and mobility, but with proper care, relief is possible.

Expert Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc in Rhode Island

At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we take a personalized approach to treating herniated discs. Our Rhode Island chiropractors are experienced in providing non-surgical, drug-free treatments that target the root cause of your pain. Whether you’re dealing with an acute injury or chronic discomfort, we are here to help you heal.

Decompression

Decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment option that can help relieve pressure on the spinal discs, which is often the cause of herniated discs. This technique involves gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure can help retract the herniated disc material, alleviate pressure on nerves, and promote healing.

Class IV Therapy

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses high-intensity laser energy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation caused by a herniated disc. The laser energy penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing blood circulation and promoting cellular regeneration. This can help reduce pain, numbness, and tingling associated with a herniated disc.

Muscle Spasms

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment option that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain caused by disc problems, including herniated discs. The sound waves create microtrauma in the affected tissues, triggering the body's natural healing response. This can help break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new blood vessels, leading to long-term pain relief.

Electro Muscle Stimulation

Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions. This can help strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, improving stability and reducing strain on the affected discs, which is often a factor with a herniated disc. EMS can also help improve blood circulation and reduce muscle spasms, further contributing to pain relief.

Common Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

Do you have a herniated disc? Here are some of the most common symptoms:

  • Sharp or shooting pain in the back, neck, or legs
  • Tingling or numbness in the limbs
  • Muscle weakness in the arms or legs
  • Difficulty standing or walking for extended periods

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, our chiropractic team in Rhode Island can thoroughly assess and create a personalized treatment plan.

I have been dealing with a disc issue since December of 2023 and have tried everything from PT, injections, dry needling and acupuncture and nothing worked. I discovered DeCrescenzo Chiropractic and they have been a godsend! Shockwave Therapy and Decompression have given me the relief that I needed. The staff is absolutely wonderful and I could not recommend them enough! Thank you!
I love the whole staff!!!!!

Deborah Holden
I love this place and it's been a lifesaver. Ignore the horrible review that someone said (tricky.....) as his experience does not make sence. As for the comment in the car, I'd be more scared if it was an old broken down 1985 Chevy held together with duct tape.

So my story:

I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.

They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.

Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!

Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.

(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
This place is awesome!! Dr Chris is the best and the ladies that work there are phenomenal! If you have pain please go here and they will fix you. They have some of the newest equipment to help get you right.
Best chiropractor! Everyone here is nice and helpful.
I’ve had a fantastic experience at DeCrescenzo Chiropractic. The staff is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The shockwave therapy is truly amazing. My back and neck have not felt this well in 20 years. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a chiropractor.
I absolutely love coming here to get adjusted by Dr. Frankie. He's wonderful and listens to what is affecting you body and works with you to figure out the best way to treat it. I had accepted that my right hip was going to be painful walking but he sent me to get X-rays and then adjusted my pelvis over the course of several visits and now I can walk long distances without discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Frankie to anyone.
I dont know where to start! The beginning I guess! These Chiropractors cared enough to stick by me for 4 years as hard headed as I was! They believed in & pushed me to get the services I needed to become 1 million % pain FREE! I have multiple issues in my back! The disk Decompression, and Shock Wave Therapy they offer SAVED my LIFE!!!!! I have been PAIN FREE for 6 months after being in so much dibilating pain for 26 years!!!! I am so grateful for them sticking by me and pushing me to get the Disk Decompression & Shock Wave Therapy! I 1 million times over recommend them for their services!!!!

Best Chiropractors in RI. I have been going for years. Recently started the shockwave therapy for my chronic sciatic pain running down my leg. After 4 sessions I have NEVER felt so much relief from my sciatic pain. I have been pain free for 2 weeks. The office staff is terrific and Shadi and Greg have some of the best chiropractor's in RI to care for you, they truly want you to feel better.
