EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR HERNIATED DISC
At your first visit, one of our experienced physical therapists will perform a comprehensive assessment, including a medical history and physical examination. Afterward, your physical therapist will design a personalized treatment plan specifically for your unique situation that may include the following: • Manual Therapy: Our physical therapists use passive movement techniques, called mobilizations, to improve the range of motion in the spine, reducing stiffness and pain. • Stretching and Mobility Exercises: Targeted stretches to improve spine mobility and muscle flexibility are often the starting point. As you move better, you’ll feel better! • Core Strengthening: Exercises like planks and bridges can help stabilize the spine and help in improving proper techniques when performing movements like squatting or lifting activities. • Neural Mobilization: Our therapists may use neural mobilization or “nerve gliding” exercises to relieve nerve tension, which can reduce the radiating pain commonly associated with herniated discs. Understanding the condition and its management is crucial. Our experts often educate the patient about body mechanics, lifestyle changes, and long- term exercise strategies to prevent future episodes. We know that your first step to recovery starts with understanding. WHY WAIT? Call Fritz Physical Therapy today for a comprehensive evaluation and learn the steps you can actively take to recover from a herniated disc and guard against future occurrences.
