How Health Wise Chiropractic can help with Lumbar Disc Herniation


Quick anatomy- less than 1% of patients will have serious radiculopathy. The more pain in the lower extremity the more likely it is lumbosacral radiculopathy.


Pain is usually nonsudden and made worse by coughing, sneezing


Relief is lumbar extension


Where the pain is down the leg is an indication of where the problem is.


  • L4 is the medial knee, medial shin, and medial foot

  • L5 is the lateral shin and the big toe

  • S1 is the lateral sole of the foot and little toe

  • S2 is the back of the leg and bottom of the gluteals
