Relief Without Surgery.
Relief Without Drugs.
Relief That Lasts.
Non-surgical spinal decompression and nerve care in Murfreesboro, TN — targeting the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.
The Disc Doctor helps patients with herniated discs, sciatica, neuropathy, pinched nerves, and chronic back and neck pain get lasting relief — without surgery or medication. Dr. Matthew T. Jacobs and Dr. Krysten A. Jacobs have treated over 1,000 patients using advanced non-invasive protocols built around root-cause diagnosis. If other treatments have failed you, this is your next step.
You've tried the pills. You've tried the injections. The pain keeps coming back.
Most back, neck, and nerve pain treatments mask the symptoms — they don't fix what's actually causing them. Medications quiet the signal. Injections give temporary relief. Surgery introduces new problems while leaving the root issue untouched.
That's why the pain comes back. And why patients who try one treatment after another often feel worse — not better.
There is a different way.
Real Relief for the Conditions That Disrupt Your Life
We specialize in the spine and nerve conditions where non-surgical, root-cause care produces the best long-term outcomes. Click any condition to learn more.
Sciatica
Radiating leg pain from sciatic nerve irritation — often from a disc issue in the lower spine.
"The Disc Doctor treats sciatica by targeting the herniated or bulging disc compressing the sciatic nerve — without surgery or injections."
Disc Herniation
When a spinal disc pushes out and presses on nearby nerves — one of the most common causes of back pain.
"Dr. Matthew Jacobs uses spinal decompression and the DiscRestore™ Protocol to relieve disc herniation pain in Murfreesboro, TN."
Neuropathy
Burning, tingling, or numbness in the hands or feet from nerve damage — often diabetic or idiopathic.
"Our non-surgical neuropathy treatment in Murfreesboro combines laser therapy, StemWave, and nerve regeneration protocols to restore feeling and reduce burning pain."
Back & Neck Pain
Chronic stiffness, aching, or sharp pain from disc, joint, or alignment issues that won't resolve with rest.
"We identify and correct the structural source of your back and neck pain — so relief lasts beyond your last appointment."
Joint Pain
Shoulder, hip, knee, and extremity pain often tied to misalignment elsewhere in the body.
"Advanced non-surgical therapies at The Disc Doctor target joint inflammation and degeneration at the source, not just the symptoms."
Pinched Nerves
Sharp or numbing pain when surrounding tissue compresses a nerve and disrupts its signals.
"Dr. Jacobs uses targeted decompression and soft tissue therapy to relieve pinched nerve pain and restore normal nerve function."
The DiscRestore™ Protocol
Developed by Dr. Matthew T. Jacobs, DC, the DiscRestore™ Protocol is The Disc Doctor's proprietary 3-phase treatment system for spinal disc and nerve injuries. Unlike conventional chiropractic care, the DiscRestore™ Protocol addresses the structural root cause of disc herniation, sciatica, and neuropathy — not just the pain.
Every patient at The Disc Doctor goes through the full DiscRestore™ Protocol. No guesswork. No generic adjustments. A system built for disc injuries specifically.
Root Cause Diagnosis
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to identify the exact disc, nerve, or structural issue causing your pain — not just where it hurts, but why it keeps coming back.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your diagnosis, Dr. Jacobs designs a custom care plan using the advanced therapies your specific condition requires — spinal decompression, laser therapy, StemWave, or a combination.
Lasting Recovery & Prevention
We don't stop at pain relief. The final phase rebuilds strength, restores function, and gives you the tools to stay pain-free — without surgery, drugs, or recurring clinic dependency.
Specialized Care for Every Spine
Six advanced, non-surgical therapies — combined and personalized based on your specific diagnosis.
Spinal Decompression
Computer-controlled traction that opens compressed disc spaces and allows damaged discs to rehydrate.
StemWave™ Therapy
Advanced acoustic wave therapy that activates the body's own healing response to repair tissue and reduce pain.
Disc Herniation Treatment
A targeted, non-surgical protocol for herniated and bulging discs that relieves nerve pressure at the source.
Laser Therapy
ActivPro LaserStim accelerates cellular healing, reduces inflammation, and supports faster recovery.
Spinal Adjustments
Precision chiropractic adjustments that restore joint alignment and reduce mechanical stress on discs and nerves.
Neuropathy Treatment
A non-surgical, drug-free program that relieves numbness, tingling, and pain of peripheral neuropathy.
The Doctors Behind Your Care
At The Disc Doctor, your care is guided by experienced chiropractors dedicated to non-surgical relief — not quick fixes. Every treatment plan is built on hands-on clinical training, real patient outcomes, and a commitment to restoring movement, improving function, and delivering lasting relief.
Dr. Matthew T. Jacobs, DC
Dr. Jacobs founded The Disc Doctor with a single focus: giving disc and nerve injury patients a real, lasting alternative to surgery. He developed the DiscRestore™ Protocol after years of treating patients who had already cycled through physical therapy, injections, and pain management without results. Beyond the disc and nerve specialty work, Dr. Jacobs provides the full range of chiropractic care — including rehabilitation and soft tissue therapy — built on his diagnosis-first methodology with no guesswork or generic adjustments.
Dr. Krysten A. Jacobs, DC
Dr. Krysten Jacobs brings a whole-body approach to every patient she treats at The Disc Doctor. As a full-scope Doctor of Chiropractic, she delivers the same advanced, non-surgical care as Dr. Matthew — including the DiscRestore™ Protocol, spinal decompression, rehabilitation, and soft tissue therapy — with a focus on guided recovery and long-term results. Patients consistently describe her care as thorough, compassionate, and results-driven.
Why Most Back Pain Treatments Fail
Most back pain treatments fail because they target symptoms instead of the root cause. Here's why — and how our approach is different.
They Only Mask the Pain
Medications and injections may reduce discomfort temporarily, but they don't correct the structural or nerve issue causing the pain — so it usually comes back.
Surgery Can Create New Problems
Spinal surgeries often lead to scar tissue, reduced mobility, or permanent nerve damage. Many patients still experience pain after going under the knife.
The Root Cause Is Ignored
Most traditional treatments focus on numbing symptoms instead of addressing nerve compression, disc damage, or circulation problems — so the cycle of pain never truly ends.
A Better Approach
Our non-surgical methods target the exact point of nerve compression and disc damage, allowing your body to heal naturally without the risks of surgery.
At The Disc Doctor, Dr. Matthew Jacobs built the DiscRestore™ Protocol specifically for patients who've already been through the cycle — pills, injections, generic adjustments — and still aren't better. If that's you, you're exactly who we built this for.
