Hernias (herniations) occur when the cartilage between the vertebrae tears outward and presses on the nerve after excessive load on the spine and age-related deterioration.
This condition causes severe pain, symptoms that reduce the comfort of life and disruption of daily life.
Although it is seen as a sign of old age, herniation can also be very common in younger people.
What Causes Hernias?
Hernias can occur due to age-related damage, falls, sudden movements, strain, increased load on the spine due to obesity, prolonged standing, prolonged sitting, and multiple births.
How Do I Know If I Have a Hernia?
Lumbar herniated discs are known to cause pain that starts in the lumbar region and can go down towards the feet. This pain can also be confused with other types of pain. Your physician will differentiate this with examination and imaging tests. With pain;
- Numbness in the legs
- Loss of strength
- Difficulty balancing
- Numbness in the legs
- Loss of strength
- Difficulty balancing
Neck Hernias
- Pain starting in the neck and radiating to the arm
- Numbness and tingling sensation
- Decreased reflexes
- Difficulty turning the head
- Difficulty with hand movements
Decreased reflexes
The stages before the damaged disc protrudes and presses on the nerve are referred to as the onset of a hernia.
The onset of a hernia does not go away on its own, because the underlying problem is a weakness or tear in the tissues. In the future, hernia formation may increase and symptoms may worsen. Therefore, it is important to start treatments and make lifestyle changes when hernia symptoms are observed to relieve the pain and prevent hernia from causing further symptoms.
I was diagnosed with lumbar/neck hernia, is it possible to treat it without surgery?
It is possible to treat lumbar and cervical herniated discs, which are sometimes diagnosed incidentally, sometimes by examinations performed after pain, and which give symptoms with excruciating pain in the legs and arms triggered by many risk factors. Except in cases where there is no absolute surgical indication, herniations are caused by instability resulting from ligamentous relaxation in the body. Here, we prioritize treating the cause. With our combined treatments consisting of Prolotherapy treatment, Manual therapy, Chiropractic HVLA techniques, Ozone injections, Cupping treatment (Cupping), Medical Leech treatment, Acupuncture, which aim to heal with the body’s self-repair mechanism, we get positive results without the need to go to surgery in lumbar and neck hernia.

I have a stiff back, what to do?
Cupping therapy (cupping) applied in our clinic is effective in reducing tissue tension, removing toxins and relieving pain acutely.
Many studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of cupping therapy in the treatment of low back pain. Some studies have shown that cupping relieves low back pain, increases mobility and improves patients’ quality of life.
Especially in cases of low back pain caused by a sudden movement or the use of the wrong muscles in the wrong position, relief can also be achieved with manual therapy techniques. By relaxing the muscles, manual therapy can help to align the spine correctly, which in turn helps to reduce lower back pain.
In addition, medical leech therapy can increase tissue blood supply and promote cell regeneration, speeding up the healing process.
Which treatments do you use for hernias?
With the classical medical approach, trying to treat with painkillers, rheumatic drugs and cortisone injections is almost like putting out the fire and leaving the environment. It is necessary to find the factors that caused the fire, to restore the area and to prevent the fire from starting again. At this point, after analyzing our patients with a holistic evaluation, we draw a treatment plan by going down to the root causes. With the therapies we have applied, we witness that many of our patients get effective results, their quality and comfort of life increases, they get rid of the pain that afflicts them, and in addition to all these, we witness that the disturbed mental state comes into balance.
For this reason, we first listen to the disease history of our clients who apply to us due to herniated disc and cervical hernia. We make an evaluation that takes into account the medications they use, their nutrition plan and lifestyle in its entirety. We determine a personalized treatment plan by conducting a holistic body examination from the staining on the tongue to the lines on the nail.
We strengthen ligaments and joints with Prolotherapy injections, a proven, harmless and successful therapy option for hernias in a few sessions. We provide relaxation with manual therapy, chiropractic HVLA techniques, strengthen antioxidant capacity with Ozone therapy, and regenerate tissues using natural growth factors from your own blood. In addition, we provide a nutrition plan that supports healing and replacement of missing vitamins and minerals.
With all these treatments, we leave the non-healing hernia behind and step into a comfortable and healthy life free from pain.
