Herniated Disc FAQs
If you have a herniated disc, the discomfort can limit your mobility and affect your daily life. Along with that, the injury can become chronic when left untreated. At Spinal Rehab Associates in Columbus, Chesterfield, Richmond, and Marysville, OH, we offer non-invasive treatments to relieve your discomfort and improve your quality of life. Here are some frequently asked questions about herniated discs:
What Are Some Causes of a Herniated Disc?
Between each vertebra in your spine, there are discs with a soft interior and a tougher exterior. These discs act as cushions, absorbing shock as you move. However, if a crack forms in the outer layer, the inner portion can push through, resulting in a herniated disc. Some causes of a herniated disc:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Poor posture
- Family history of the condition
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Smoking
- Sitting too much
- Repetitive movements
What Are Common Disc Herniation Symptoms?
When you have a herniated disc, you will often first experience pain in the affected area of your back. However, symptoms don’t always appear right away. Some common symptoms of this condition include:
- Pain in your lower, upper, or mid back
- Pain that radiates to the arms or legs
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Reduced range of motion
When Should I Seek Treatment?
It’s important to seek treatment if you experience persistent back and neck pain or if the discomfort is interfering with your daily activities. Our chiropractor can perform an evaluation and recommend the necessary treatment.
Can a Chiropractor Help with a Herniated Disc?
Chiropractic care can be highly effective for relieving herniated disc symptoms. Our chiropractor will realign your spine, which takes pressure off of the nerves around the affected disc. This can also help alleviate inflammation and reduce symptoms.
What Other Treatments Are Available for Herniated Discs?
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, our team may also recommend other treatments to help you heal. Some of these treatments include:
- Spinal decompression
- Electric muscle stimulation therapy
- Laser therapy
- Stretching and strengthening exercises
