Get relief from a herniated disc through non-invasive treatment methods.
A herniated disc can cause pain, numbness, or weakness that makes simple daily activities like bending, lifting, sitting, or walking challenging. It may limit your mobility and disrupt sleep, work, and exercise, significantly impacting your overall comfort and quality of life.
If you’re dealing with a herniated disc, Dr. Sheps, D.C. provides expert herniated disc treatment in Los Angeles at his Brentwood practice. Using manual and noninvasive therapies, he targets the source of pain, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing—helping you return to your normal routine.
Intervertebral discs are ‘cushion-like’ structures that are found in between your vertebrae (i.e. the bones that make up the spine). These discs protect the vertebrae from pressing against each other.
A herniated disc (also referred to as a “slipped disc” or “ruptured disc”) occurs when one of the discs begins pressing against a nerve. The pain that accompanies a herniated disc is often felt in the lower back; however, the pain may also extend to your upper and lower extremities.
Every body is different, so injuries and conditions can affect people in unique ways. After evaluating your condition, Dr. Sheps, D.C. will recommend a personalized herniated disc treatment in Los Angeles plan tailored to your specific needs. As a certified McKenzie practitioner, he also provides at-home care techniques to support your recovery.
Depending on your condition, Dr. Sheps may recommend one or more targeted treatments to relieve pain and restore mobility.

Recovery time varies based on injury severity, but many patients experience improvement within weeks to a few months with consistent care and adherence to recommended therapies.
