To Get Out of Pain, Get Back to Your Best Life! HERNIATED DISCS
A herniated disc can be incredibly painful, causing several limitations on the body’s mobility. This reduced movement can hinder a person’s ability to complete day-to-day tasks. Depending on where the herniated disc is located, you may experience a variety of symptoms including radiating pain down the arm or leg. Bulging discs are the beginning phase of herniated discs. Very often people have a bulging disc and don’t even know it. Only when the outside of a bulging disc becomes irritated and affects the surrounding tissue does it begin to cause back ache, generally in the same area and not down the leg.
A herniated disc in the neck can be just as painful as a herniated disc in the back. Arm pain from a neck herniated disc is one of the more common neck conditions treated by our spine specialists. A herniated disc in your neck may start from injury to the spine, the symptoms, including arm pain, commonly start from poor posture or muscle strains. The arm pain from a neck herniated disc occurs because the herniated discmaterial “pinches” or presses on a nerve, causing pain to radiate along the nerve down the arm. Our specialized physical therapists are trained to examine your spine and movement to find the root cause of your problem. If you are suffering from acute back pain froma herniated or bulging disc, make an appointment for an evaluation. We’ll assess your specific condition and create a customized treatment plan to get you back to your best health
