Herniated Disk Relief

Herniated disks can cause you to miss work and lose interest in some of your favorite activities. When caught immediately after an accident, your chiropractor may be able to prevent excessive damage and help displaced vertebrae shift back to their normal position.  Herniated disks can be extremely painful and will only get worse if they are not treated. With chiropractic care, you can get back to your normal self in no time.

Causes

There are many causes for herniated disks. They can be caused by slip and fall accidents, poor lifting techniques, degenerative bone diseases, and auto accidents. Many people don't seek treatment for herniated disks right away, which can eventually lead to chronic pain and discomfort. Seeking medical treatment immediately after an accident will help. The sooner you seek treatment, the less damage will be done. It will also make it easier for the chiropractor to get to the root of the problem.

Treatment Options

Our chiropractor has many treatment options that can be used on their own or in conjunction with one another. In many cases, using two or more treatment options tends to provide more sound and effective healing. Chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, deep tissue massage, and corrective exercises that are sometimes associated with physical therapy, work well together and help support the healing process. Our chiropractor will evaluate the damage to your disks and create an individualized treatment plan that fits your needs.

Physical Therapy and Lifestyle Changes

Physical therapy and lifestyle changes are also beneficial. Your body will heal faster if you keep moving and get adequate amounts of rest. Eat a healthy diet so your body has the nutrients it needs to heal sufficiently. Walking is an exercise that does not require a lot of effort, but will still get the blood pumping. The right amount of activity ensures that damaged tissues get the oxygen and nutrients they need to heal and become stronger.
