What We Help With: Hernias & Bulging Discs
You’re Not Stuck With It: Healing Naturally from a Disc Hernia
It’s almost impossible to describe the feeling. You’re bent over, completely stuck and unable to move due to the intensity of the pain. Whether it’s a new issue or something you’ve been dealing with for years, a herniated disc can completely turn your world upside down.
It affects your ability to stay fully present as it feels like a constant, frustrating distraction. Other times, when it flares up, it’s all you can think about, and it overwhelms your capacity to move, think, or function normally.
At ONE Chiropractic Studio Amersfoort and Utrecht, we have extensive experience helping people recover naturally from disc hernias — whether they are in the neck or lower back. We understand how deeply a hernia can affect your daily life, and our goal is to help your body heal without any unnecessary interventions.
The Truth About Hernias and Disc Bulges
Two important things to know about disc bulges and hernias:
They can heal. You are not stuck with it for life.
They’re not always the true cause of your pain.
Disc hernias are far more common than most people realise. In fact, over one-third of adults have a disc bulge right now — often without even knowing it, because it doesn’t cause pain or symptoms.
That’s what makes disc issues so confusing: a disc bulge seen on an MRI or X-ray isn’t always the source of pain. The hopeful news in that fact is this — if you’ve been told that your disc hernia is the reason for your pain, and that it can’t heal or won’t ever improve, then there’s a good chance you’ve been given incomplete information.
Your body is designed to heal, and sometimes it just needs the right support.
The Four Types of Hernia's
Disc changes come in different forms, ranging from mild to more severe:
Bulging disc
Herniated disc
Extrusion or rupture
Sequestration
Interestingly, the more severe the hernia, the more likely it is to heal — meaning a sequestration often recovers better than a mild bulge. The body’s healing capacity is truly remarkable!
Chiropractic Care and Disc Healing
Gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments — delivered by skilled and experienced chiropractors — can be highly effective in reducing the pain and dysfunction linked to disc hernias. By restoring natural motion and alignment to the spinal joints around the affected area, we help your nervous system function optimally and create the best conditions for your body to heal.
At ONE Chiropractic Studio, our comprehensive 5-step clinical process helps us:
Identify the true cause of your pain
Understand what role (if any) a disc hernia is playing
Determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you
Measure and quantify the stress and effect on your nervous system
From there, we personalise your care plan to your unique needs, and use gentle and precise chiropractic techniques that support long-term healing and improved quality of life.

If you’re struggling with back or neck pain and have been told it’s “just a herniated disc,” then there’s still hope for you. Healing is actually possible, and we’re here to help your body do what it’s designed to do.
