What is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc occurs when the cushion-like structure located between the vertebrae of the spine rupture, causing the inner gel-like substance to leak out. This can result in pressure on the nerves in the spine and lead to pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected region. It can be caused by age-related wear and tear, repetitive strain, or injury. Treatment options include chiropractic care, physical therapy, pain medication, rest, and surgery in severe cases.

What Causes a Herniated Disc and Back Pain?

As we age, spinal discs lose their elasticity and become more prone to injury. A herniated discs and back pain can also be caused by lifting heavy objects improperly, repetitive motions, and sudden trauma or injury. Genetics can also contribute to the development of the condition. Therefore, it's essential to seek medical attention or chiropractic care if you are experiencing back pain or suspect you may have a herniated disc, as early treatment can prevent further damage and improve your overall quality of life.

How Can a Chiropractor Treat a Herniated Disc?

If you're suffering from a herniated disc, our chiropractors can help your body heal. We use various techniques and therapies to alleviate your pain and discomfort. One of the most common methods is spinal manipulation, which involves gently adjusting the spine to reduce pressure on the affected region. We may also use other techniques like spinal decompression therapy, massage therapy, and stretches to help improve your range of motion and reduce inflammation. In addition, we can provide guidance on exercises and lifestyle changes that you can implement to prevent herniated discs that could happen in the future.
