Manahawkin Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc Back Pain
A herniated disc, a familiar cause of back pain for many in Manahawkin, doesn't always warrant surgery. Non-surgical treatments like ours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can extend significant relief without the costly financial burden and inherent risk related to back surgery.
WHAT A DISC HERNIATION IS
A herniated disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through the exterior casing, producing pain, numbness, or weakness. Issues like age-related wear and tear, sudden strain, or repetitive movements can contribute to this. Symptoms include back or neck pain, pain radiating to arms or legs, tingling or numbness, and muscle weakness. Early recognition leads to faster relief and return to your normal Manahawkin activities of daily living!
WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO TREAT A HERNIATED DISC
Surgery frequently comes to mind for many while non-surgical treatment is quite successful. Surgery, often seen as fastest solution, is costly and risky. It can initiate infections, blood clots, nerve damage, and lengthy recovery times. Further, surgery doesn't guarantee permanent relief. Research documents that many patients get significant relief through non-surgical treatments, focusing on handling pain and improving function. One such method is chiropractic care, incorporating diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions via hands-on spinal manipulation and other treatments. Techniques include spinal manipulation - like our Cox® Technic flexion-distraction – alongside nutrition and therapeutic exercise, aiming to provide pain relief, enhanced functionality, and general well-being.
NON-SURGICAL CARE OPTIONS
Studies support the effectiveness of these non-surgical treatments as they aim to manage pain and improve function. Zhang et al. (2023) did a comprehensive study on lumbar disc herniation management. The study makes availablable helpful insights into the effectiveness of non-surgical treatments for most people. Davison et al. (2020) examined healthcare spending for patients with herniated lumbar discs. Their findings emphasize the cost-effectiveness of non-surgical treatments, including chiropractic care. Lilly et al. (2021) assessed non-operative management strategies for herniated lumbar discs. Their results emphasize the success of conservative care methods in providing relief and enhancing patient outcomes. Other studies, like Gudavalli's (2006), compared flexion-distraction with active exercise, and flexion-distraction (called Cox® Technic) provided 250% more relief of disc herniation-related radicular leg pain.
