Your spinal discs are soft spongy discs located between the vertebrae in your spine. They are filled with gelatin like fluid that acts like shock-absorbers for the bones in your back. This condition is also known as a herniated, ruptured or prolapsed disk and occurs when one of these discs slips, ruptures or breaks releasing the important fluid. As a result, nerves in your spinal region can become pinched, often causing shooting or sharp pain throughout the lower back, legs or arms.
While rest, medication or proper physical therapy may help your condition, sometimes it is not enough to fully repair a slipped disc. Dr Edwards offers an array of different treatment options for slipped discs including Spinal Decompression, which works by slowly stretching and stretching the spine. The treatment in most cases is completely painless and patients will start feeling results after the first few treatments.
Symptoms of Pain may:
- reach down the front, side, or back of your leg, or it may stay in the low back.
- become worse with activity.
- be worse at night
- increase with prolonged sitting-long car trip.
- Numbness or weakness in the part of the leg that receives its nerve supply( a compressed nerve)
- And more
