Herniated Disc? Osteopathy Lindeman in Amsterdam and Den Bosch Offers Lasting Relief

A herniated disc, also known as a herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP), can cause severe back pain, sciatica, numbness, or even weakness in the legs. Many people assume surgery is the only solution, but in many cases, osteopathy provides a natural and effective alternative. At Osteopathy Lindeman in Amsterdam and Den Bosch, we regularly treat patients with disc-related back issues — with care, precision, and lasting results.

What is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc (nucleus pulposus) protrudes and puts pressure on a nearby nerve. Common symptoms include:

  • Lower back pain or pelvic discomfort

  • Radiating pain down the leg (sciatica)

  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness

  • Pain worsened by sitting, bending, or coughing

Although disc herniations are clearly visible on MRI scans, the severity of symptoms doesn’t always match the size of the hernia. That’s why, as osteopaths, we focus on the whole body — not just the image or diagnosis.

Osteopathy for Herniated Discs – Our Approach

At Osteopathy Lindeman, we don’t only treat the disc itself — we explore and address the underlying restrictions and tension patterns in the body that may contribute to your symptoms. By relieving pressure and improving spinal mobility, we create the conditions for recovery.

Our osteopathic treatment focuses on:

  • Restoring mobility in the spine and surrounding joints

  • Reducing tension in muscles, fascia, and nerve pathways

  • Relieving pressure on spinal nerves

  • Rebalancing related areas such as the pelvis and diaphragm

  • Supporting the body’s natural self-healing ability

Treatments are gentle, hands-on, and tailored to your specific situation — even in acute phases. We take time to fully assess your case and offer a treatment strategy that fits your body.
