Herniated discs are a common condition that affects the spine. The condition occurs when the outer layer of a spinal disc tears, causing the soft inner layer to bulge outwards. This bulging can put pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area. While herniated discs can occur anywhere along the spine, they are most common in the lower back and neck.
The most common causes of herniated discs include wear and tear, aging, and injury. Depending on the severity of the herniated disc, treatment options may include rest, physical therapy, pain medication, or surgery. However, non-invasive treatment options like laser therapy are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a safe and effective alternative to surgery.
Herniated disc treatment options are readily available for patients. If you are experiencing symptoms of a herniated disc, seeking medical attention from a qualified healthcare provider is essential.
A medical professional can accurately diagnose your condition and recommend a course of treatment best suited to your needs. Early treatment can help prevent the condition from worsening and improve your chances of full recovery.
