Bulging Disc Treatment NYC

About Bulging Disc Treatment NYC

There are many causes of a herniated disc. As you age, the discs aren't as flexible anymore. A herniated disc in this case is the result of wear and tear. Injuries to your spine may result in the cracking or breaking of the discs that may lead to bulging.Exactly what are the symptoms of a herniated disc? Herniated discs that affect the nerves can cause numbness and pain. The location of the nerve will dictate the area of pain. For example, if the herniated disc is located in the lower back area the pain may travel past the buttocks into the leg by way of the sciatic nerve.Treatment options may include medications, surgery or physical therapy. Physical therapy is an effective treatment option and is non-surgical. The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and reestablish range of motion. Other non-surgical options are joint injections of the hip and shoulder or other areas that may be affected. The treatment of a herniated disc varies depending on the severity of the individual's case. A herniated disc may heal on its own in some cases.
