Understanding Herniated Discs

The spinal discs are rounded pads of tissue, filled with a gel-like substance, that help to cushion the vertebrae of the spine. Under certain conditions, these pads can rupture, allowing some of the gel to spill out, which results in a bulging disc. The lack of proper cushioning causes pressure on muscles and nerves that can cause pain, difficulty with movement and symptoms of nerve impingement.

Causes of Herniated Disc Problems

Some herniated discs occur due to a hereditary vulnerability in the spine and spinal discs. Work activities can contribute to disc problems. If you are carrying excess weight, you may be at higher risk for disc problems.

Herniated Disc Symptoms

A herniated disc can occur in the lower back or in the upper spine. The individual may experience pain on movement, which may be intense in the arms, legs or buttocks. Numbness and tingling may also occur. You may experience muscles weakness in the arms, hands or legs. Severe cases may lead to loss of sensation in the pelvic area or loss of bladder or bowel control.

Chiropractic Treatment For Herniated Disc

Your chiropractor in Crofton can utilize a number of specialized techniques to help herniated disc symptoms. Manual adjustment helps to re-align spinal structures, relieving pressure on muscles and nerves for easier movement. Physical therapy strengthens muscles and improves range of motion. Spinal decompression is a non-surgical way to gently separate the spinal vertebrae and discs, to return them to normal position. Massage therapy soothes strained muscles and improves healing in affected tissues. Acupuncture, which uses fine needles inserted at specific points in the body, is used to relieve pain, without the use of drugs.
