Herniated Disc & Pinched Nerve Relief in Clairemont

Get Back to Moving — Without Pain or Surgery

From sharp nerve pain to stubborn disc issues, we deliver precise, hands-on care trusted by patients throughout the community — and beyond.

What We Treat

  • Line art of a man pressing his neck with visible pain lines indicating sharp upper back and neck discomfort.

    Sharp, Shooting Pain in the Neck or Back

    Many patients experience intense, stabbing pain that travels down the spine or limbs. This often signals nerve compression or a bulging disc. We locate the source and apply focused adjustments to relieve pressure and restore function.

  • Line art of a man holding his forearm with radiating lines from the hand, symbolizing numbness or tingling in the arm.

    Numbness or Tingling in the Arms or Legs

    That “pins and needles” feeling is a sign your nerves are being irritated. Left untreated, it can worsen over time. Chiropractic care can reduce inflammation, free up trapped nerves, and restore normal sensation.

  • Line art of a man pressing his lower back with radiating lines to show pain traveling down from the spine.

    Pain That Radiates Down One Side

    Sciatica-like symptoms often come from a herniated disc pinching a nerve root. We use targeted spinal adjustments and decompression strategies to relieve that nerve pressure and help the pain stop traveling.

    Loss of Strength or Muscle Function

    If you're noticing grip weakness, foot drop, or reduced strength, it may be due to nerve impingement. We identify where the signal is getting blocked and apply specific care to restore stability and strength.

  • Line art of a man standing with a painful expression, pressing his lower back with radiating lines to show position-induced back pain.

    Pain That Gets Worse When Sitting or Standing

    Disc issues often flare up in certain positions or after long periods of stillness. Our care plan helps improve disc alignment, reduce inflammation, and make daily movement more comfortable again.

  • Line art of a slouched man with a pained expression holding his lower back, symbolizing unresolved or worsening chronic pain.

    Unresponsive or Worsening Pain Over Time

    If nothing seems to help — or the pain keeps returning — the problem might be mechanical. We specialize in uncovering the root issue and creating long-term correction strategies that actually hold.

What Our Patients Are Saying

  • Five-star chiropractic review

    I had worsening arm numbness for months and nothing worked — not sleep changes, pillows, or massage. After a few weeks with Dr. Stein, I started getting feeling back in my fingers and can finally drive more comfortably. The progress is real.

    - Jacquie S.

  • Top-rated patient feedback

    Initially coming in with sciatica, lower back pain, upper back pain, and a sore neck, his treatment contributed to me feeling more agile and stable. I’ve been able to be back at the gym, go skiing, and train for a rapidly approaching spartan race. I’m grateful for the consistency Dr Steins affordable plan provides!

    - Katelyn D.

  • Rated five stars by a patient

    I have been going to Stein Chiropractic since 1993. Every few years my back would go out and I could barely get in a car. After 2 or 3 visits I was back to normal. Dr. Stein showed me exercises that helped me prevent the problem. It has been over 15 years since I have had a serious problem. I go regularly, do my exercises and have kept surfing and snowboarding into my mid 70's
