Herniated discs, bulging discs, and pinched nerves at the L4-L5, L5-S1, and C5-C6 levels cause radiating pain, numbness, and weakness that can sideline your life. Novaré Injury Care and Rehab provides non-surgical herniated disc treatment in Fort Myers using MRI-guided spinal decompression, Cox Technic flexion-distraction, Class IV laser therapy, and manual therapy.
Yes. Most herniated discs can heal without surgery. Research shows the majority of lumbar and cervical disc herniations improve with conservative care like spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments, and targeted physical therapy within 6 to 12 weeks.
At Novaré, our approach includes:
We require MRI before starting decompression because x-rays can't show disc herniations. Dr. Bracic reads every scan himself.
Dr. Bracic reads every MRI personally to identify the exact disc level, herniation type, and nerve involvement. Your treatment targets the confirmed problem, not a general area.
The DRX9000 and AccuSPINA each serve different clinical situations. Dr. Bracic selects the right system based on your MRI findings and disc levels involved.
We exhaust non-surgical options before discussing surgery. Most disc herniations respond to decompression and therapy. When surgery is needed, we have a vetted neurosurgery referral network.
Decompression is part of a broader plan that includes chiropractic care, laser therapy, manual therapy, and rehab exercises for lasting results.
