Disc Herniation Austin, Texas

The pain of a herniated disc can be extremely debilitating. A herniated disc occurs when the small discs in your spine bulge through cracks in your vertebrae or break open (generally known as a ruptured disc). This can be caused by old age and general wear and tear of the spine, but it can also be caused by injury. As we age our spines loose important fluids that keep discs spongy. These discs act as tiny shock absorbers in the back, and if not functioning properly a whole variety of symptoms can result. Some of which are listed below.

Dr. James Edwards promotes a non-invasive, safe, successful, and painless approach to spinal treatment. His treatment plans are patient centered and reinforce a patient's own recuperative abilities. Spinal Decompression Therapy is a revolutionary technique that has provided many people with outstanding results. It is a drugless form of healthcare based on restoring and maintaining proper functions of the spine. The machine itself slowly stretches and strengthens the spine, providing slipped or damages discs with the space necessary to recover.

Some of the symptoms associated with a herniated disc include:

- Shooting pain
- Numbness
- Weakness of muscles
- Loss of bladder control
- Tingling in the arms or legs
- And More
