A Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Approach to Back Pain and Disc Healing

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care—and lumbar disc herniations are one of the leading causes. Whether you're experiencing sharp, radiating pain down your leg or dealing with chronic stiffness and inflammation in your lower back, a disc injury can significantly affect your mobility, quality of life, and overall well-being.

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. John Stoetzel and his team offer a powerful, non-invasive solution to lumbar disc herniation pain: SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT). This advanced, science-backed therapy stimulates healing at the cellular level—without injections, surgery, or long-term medications.

What Is a Lumbar Spine Disc Herniation?

The spine is made up of a series of vertebrae separated by intervertebral discs—gel-filled cushions that act as shock absorbers and support spinal flexibility. A disc herniation occurs when the inner gel-like center (nucleus pulposus) pushes through the outer ring (annulus fibrosus), potentially compressing nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.

Types of Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations:

• Contained Herniation (Protrusion): The disc bulges outward but the outer layer remains intact

• Non-Contained Herniation (Extrusion): The inner gel breaks through the outer layer but remains connected to the disc

• Sequestered Disc: A fragment of disc material separates completely from the main disc and may migrate into the spinal canal

These herniations can cause significant irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve or spinal nerve roots, leading to intense pain, inflammation, and restricted movement.

Common Causes of Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations

• Repetitive bending, twisting, or lifting

• Poor posture or prolonged sitting

• Sudden trauma or injury (e.g., falls or car accidents)

• Degenerative disc disease and aging

• Overuse from sports or manual labor

• Lack of core strength or spinal stability

Symptoms of a Lumbar Spine Disc Herniation

• Localized lower back pain

• Sharp, shooting pain down one or both legs (sciatica)

• Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the legs or feet

• Muscle weakness in the legs or difficulty lifting the foot (foot drop)

• Increased pain when sitting, coughing, sneezing, or bending

How SoftWave Therapy Helps Disc Herniations Heal

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is a regenerative treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves—traveling over 3,000 mph—to target deep tissues and activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.

This process does not involve any needles, medications, or surgery. Instead, it initiates a powerful biological healing cascade, especially effective for conditions involving inflammation, nerve irritation, and tissue damage—such as lumbar disc herniations.

The Science Behind SoftWave and Disc Recovery

SoftWave promotes healing at the joint, cellular, and tissue levels, offering real relief and long-term support for disc injuries.

Key Scientific Effects of SoftWave:

• Stem Cell Activation and Migration
  Stimulates your body’s own resident stem cells to migrate to the site of disc damage for natural regeneration and repair.

• VEGF & eNOS Activation
  Promotes angiogenesis, or the creation of new blood vessels, improving circulation to the injured disc and surrounding tissues—essential for healing in the relatively low-blood-flow spinal region.

• PCNA & BMP Expression
  Increases Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) and Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP), which support cellular repair and the rebuilding of spinal soft tissue.

• Modulation of Inflammation
  Balances inflammatory pathways and reduces cytokine activity that contributes to nerve compression and chronic pain.

• Toll-Like Receptor Regulation
  Helps manage nerve irritation and overactive immune responses around the injured disc and nerve roots.

• Flushing Out Senescent Cells
  Eliminates damaged and aging cells that interfere with tissue repair, allowing new, healthy cells to thrive.

Long-Term Relief Without Injections or Surgery

Traditional options for disc herniations often involve corticosteroid injections, pain medications, or spinal surgery—each with its own risks, limitations, and recovery periods.

SoftWave offers a safe, conservative alternative that:

• Reduces pain and inflammation

• Improves mobility and nerve function

• Supports the natural regeneration of spinal tissue

• Helps patients avoid injections, long-term drugs, or surgical intervention

Many patients report relief after just a few sessions, with continued improvement for weeks and months as the body completes its regenerative cycle.
