Herniated Disc FAQs

A herniated disc is a condition that not too many people are familiar with. It is important to know that a herniated disc cannot heal on its own, but can be resolved through various treatments including chiropractic care. Our chiropractors at Capitol Rehab of Crofton will help you understand this condition, treat it, and avoid potentially serious consequences. Let’s look at some of the questions that we run into regarding herniated discs.

What is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc is a condition where the cushions between the vertebrae in your spine bulge out from their normal position. The protrusion could move toward or away from the spinal cord, muscle, and ligaments. It usually occurs when there is a rupture in a disc that can be either partial or complete depending on the severity. A herniated disc may or may not cause pain depending on its location, size, and whether it presses the nerves.

What Are the Symptoms of a Herniated Disc?

Some of the most common symptoms are numbness or a tingling sensation, swelling or inflammation, muscle weakness, and an overall sense of discomfort. Most patients experience pain mainly at the point where the vertebrae have collapsed and the herniation is taking place. Some patients may complain of muscle spasms, cramps, and stiffness in the affected area. Some patients also experience ongoing pain even when they are not using their back muscles because these muscles have become weakened by the pressure on the nerves caused by the herniated disc.

How Does a Chiropractor Help With a Herniated Disc?

Chiropractic care is one of the most common treatments for a herniated disc. Chiropractors are highly trained to manipulate the spine to reduce pain and restore mobility. Chiropractors use a combination of spinal adjustments, traction, physical therapies, and other treatments for this condition. Furthermore, we can also help patients manage their weight and find relief by prescribing exercises like yoga and aerobics. Our chiropractors at Capitol Rehab of Crofton are highly experienced and qualified to provide treatment for herniated discs.
