Effectiveness of Chiropractic Care for Herniated Discs
If you are suffering from symptoms of a herniated disc and can’t work, exercise, or take part in activities you enjoy, you should visit Dr. Abdollah Nejad, your local chiropractor at ChiroSports USA, for herniated disc treatment.
What Causes a Herniated Disc?
Herniated discs can be caused by an impact or injury to the spine that ruptures the hard shell surrounding the interior of your spinal disc. This may cause the interior to leak out, creating pressure on your nerves. Herniated discs can also be the result of age-related spine degeneration, medical conditions like osteoarthritis, normal wear and tear, genetics, weight, or lifestyle. Remaining mostly sedentary or having a job that requires frequent sitting or driving can put you at a higher risk of a herniated disc.
When to Visit a Chiropractor
You should visit Dr. Nejad for an official diagnosis if you’re experiencing frequent, recurring, or worsening symptoms of a herniated disc. These symptoms may include arm or leg pain, numbness or tingling sensations down the leg or arm, and/or muscle weakness or fatigue. You should also visit Dr. Nejad if you’re experiencing any symptoms that prevent you from walking or exercising, sitting or standing, working, sleeping, or taking part in your normal daily routine.
How a Chiropractor Can Help
Dr. Nejad can provide you with an official diagnosis of disc herniation, which is the first step towards getting the treatment you need. He may suggest you undergo x-rays, an MRI, or a CAT scan to assist him in making his diagnosis. He may also ask you to perform physical tests of coordination, balance, and muscle strength. Once he has confirmed you have a herniated disc, he may recommend a course of treatment that lasts 4-6 months and includes chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy, massage therapy, rehabilitation, and lifestyle modification counseling.
