At Diamond State Chiropractic of Newark, we attend to many patients suffering from a herniated disc. As a result, we have prepared answers to some frequently asked questions to help you understand this condition better.
Discs are cushion-like structures located between vertebrae bones. Discs are crucial in providing cushion and facilitating the movement of the vertebrae. A herniated disc is the result of a disc losing its cushioning, causing it to bulge or slip from its normal position. These discs can compress spinal nerves leading to extreme pain or discomfort if left untreated.
Abnormal force or movement in the spine from slips, auto accidents, and falls may cause the disc to slip or protrude. General wear and tear due to aging can lead to a herniated disc. Additionally, repetitive muscle use, bone spurs, and degenerative diseases can cause a herniated disc.
Sometimes, herniated discs may not exhibit symptoms. However, when they do, you will experience symptoms, including:
After assessing your medical history, our doctors will perform a physical examination to locate the source of the pain. We may require X-rays, CT scans, or MRI images to examine the damage in your spine thoroughly.
Our chiropractors use natural remedies to treat a herniated disc. The most common treatment we use is chiropractic adjustments. Our treatment aims to readjust and realign your spinal bones and joints. Spinal manipulation removes misalignments along the spine that may be compressing the spinal nerves.
