Overview of Herniated Discs

Every disc between the bones in the human spine has a hard covering over a soft center. Each time these structures develop a problem, herniated discs could follow. The actual herniation, sometimes referred to as a ruptured disc, occurs when the soft interior filler manages to push through a break in a disc’s exterior.

In some cases, patients notice no symptoms. More frequently, substantial discomfort can develop.

Our doctor notes that herniation in the lower portion of the back typically links to discomfort in the buttocks, thigh, and calf. With a neck disc, it is usually in the shoulder or the arm. When the problem affects nerves and muscles, patients can also experience numbness, tingling, and difficulty holding items. Although disc herniation typically results from injury, it is sometimes the result of aging.

Chiropractic Treatment Options

Chiropractic treatment for a disc herniation is natural and avoids surgery or medication. The goal is finding the source of the problem, then correcting it rather than addressing individual symptoms.

At an initial appointment, our doctor of chiropractic assesses the patient’s entire spine after completing a physical exam, reviewing a health history, and discussing symptoms. Our exams assess reflexes, loss of nerve sensations, and any wasting of muscles. Chiropractors customize a patient’s treatment plan using these primary therapies:

• Adjustments, also called spinal manipulations

• Physical therapy

• Lifestyle-related changes

Therapies such as massage and acupuncture also bring relief for some patients who suffer from herniated or bulging discs.
