Pain associated with a herniated disc often develops in the sciatica nerve, and doesn’t subside with simple rest and relaxation. While hot and cold therapy will help alleviate the pain associated with many different back issues, it won’t make the pain of a herniated disc go away.The pain is often frequently associated with numbness, weakness, and tingling in the legs. In many situations, the pain will feel more severe after initial movement, such as standing up or laying down. Many people mistakenly refer to having a herniated disc as having “pinched a nerve,” but that is not the case. Physical therapy is a great resource for attempting to overcome the pain associated with a herniated disc. A combination of passive and active techniques is typically employed, including deep tissue massage, electrical stimulation, and hydrotherapy, as well as deep stretching and strength building. If you suspect that you may have a herniated disc, contact a physical therapist right away. Attempting to engage in therapy at home could lead to further injury. It is best to have an experienced therapist assess your injury before attempting any treatment options. If you’re suffering from back pain due to a herniated disc, call your physical therapist at Rehab Access today to schedule your appointment! Treatment For Herniated Discs
Patient Success Story Hear Why Our Patients Love Us! “I came to Rehab Access after a total knee replacement on a walker and home therapy. In about a month of treatment 3 times a week, I went to a cane and am now walking on my own. The staff was friendly and cheerful. They pushed me to do better. I am very pleased with their work.” - D.
