Treating Herniated disc in Enschede
A bulging disc pressing on a nerve. Our Cox® speciality.
With a herniated disc, part of an intervertebral disc bulges out and presses on a nerve. That often causes pain radiating into the leg or arm, sometimes with tingling, numbness or loss of strength.
Many people immediately think of surgery when they hear about a herniated disc, but that is far from always necessary. For these complaints in particular, the Cox® Decompression Technique can bring relief.
Common symptoms
- Radiating pain in the leg (sciatica) or arm
- Tingling or numbness
- Loss of strength in leg, foot, arm or hand
- Pain that worsens when coughing, sneezing or straining
How we help you with herniated disc
The Cox® Decompression Technique increases the space in the nerve canal by around 28%. That reduces pressure on the nerve and the disc, giving the body a chance to recover.
The treatment is gentle and controlled, matched to what your body can handle at that moment. We follow your recovery closely and adjust the approach where needed.
Frequently asked questions
Can a chiropractor help with herniated disc?
That depends on the cause, which is why we always start with a thorough examination. If your complaint turns out to be suitable for chiropractic care, we draw up a treatment plan that fits you. Many people experience relief, although results differ from person to person.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. You can book an appointment directly, without a referral from your GP.
Is the treatment reimbursed?
Chiropractic care is not part of the Dutch basic health insurance, but many insurers cover it under supplementary insurance. No deductible (eigen risico) applies. The pricing page explains how to submit your invoice.
How many treatments will I need?
That differs per person and per complaint. After the first examination we give you a realistic estimate and a plan, so you know where you stand.
