EDISCSCULPTHerniated discs are one of the most common spine conditions. Symptoms are sometimes severe, but with the right doctor, treatment can be quick and effective.
Description
The spinal discs cushion the vertebrae from one another and help the spine move. A herniated disc occurs when the structure of the disc is compromised and it becomes misshapen. The discs are composed of two main portions - an outer portion, which is tougher, and an inner portion, which is more gel-like. During a herniation, the outer portion ruptures, allowing the inner portion to bulge out.
Some people have herniated discs without ever knowing it. Other people have symptoms so severe they are unable to work. Symptoms occur when the herniation presses against the spinal cord or nerve roots. Patients may experience pain in the back or limbs, numbness or tingling in the limbs, and/or muscle weakness.
This condition can be caused in several ways. Often, it occurs as the simple result of aging. Other times, a specific moment of trauma, such as an accident or an improper lift, is the culprit. Whatever the cause, it's important to see a good herniated disc doctor for treatment.
Treatment & Finding a Doctor
When you are first diagnosed, your herniated disc doctor will prescribe non-invasive treatments such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, or medication. Often, this resolves symptoms. If it does not, you can consider herniated disc surgery. The gold standard in surgical treatment is laser surgery, which is minimally invasive while still being highly effective.
