EDISCSCULPTIf you have a herniated disc, you are well aware of the wide-ranging effects that the common spine condition can have. Herniated discs can cause pain, muscle weakness, and numbness or tingling in the limbs. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe, and may be static or progressive in terms of severity. Depending on those factors and the nature of the injury itself, the treatment for a herniated disc will vary.
Treatment Options
Herniated disc treatments are aimed at improving spinal alignment, strengthening the muscles that support the spine, reducing inflammation, or physically removing the herniation. Options include:
In general, non-surgical treatment options are preferable and will be used as the first course of treatment for a herniated disc. However, in some cases the symptoms are very severe or getting progressively worse, and in those cases surgery may be considered as the first option for treatment.
Herniated discs can now be treated using minimally invasive, laser spine surgery. During this procedure, the use of an endoscopic camera and a laser probe enable the surgeon to remove the herniation without actually opening the spine. This results in a much shorter recovery period, along with a lower risk of certain side effects.
Finding a Doctor
It's important to find a doctor who will be able to identify and apply the best treatment for your herniated disc. Online reviews are a valuable resource for identifying the best-performing doctors in the area.
