Physical therapy can do wonders to relieve your herniated disc symptoms and help you ward off future bouts of pain or nerve problems. Your physical therapist will start by evaluating your condition carefully. We will discuss your medical history, any specific incident (such as a heavy-lifting mishap) that may have herniated a disc and analyze your symptoms in detail. Your personalized treatment prescription may call for a mix of physical therapy techniques. For instance, if your herniated disc has caused your back or neck muscles to seize up painfully, you may benefit from massage therapy to ease those spasms and make your muscles limber enough to exercise. Ice, heat, and laser treatments can also reduce pain and inflammation to the tissues surrounding your spine. Physical therapy exercises like core exercises help you build strength and stability in your lower back, thus reducing your pain and improving your function. Mobility exercises to help improve your range of motion and reduce your risks for future neck or back disc-related injuries. Anything you can do to keep musculoskeletal stresses and strains at a minimum will help you ward off disc issues in the future. We may recommend lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, proper nutrition, or improved workplace ergonomics to help you protect your spine.
