Conditions We Treat

Care for Disc Herniations

Are you experiencing back pain? It may be a herniated disc. This condition is a protruding disc fragment that presses against the nerves within the spinal canal. Often it hits the sciatic nerve that runs down through the leg into the foot, causing severe pain and numbness.

Need Help? Call 610-402-CARE (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday) to talk to nurses and other experts who can help you find a neuroscience doctor and more.
