What Causes a Herniated Disc?
The most common cause of a herniated disc is age-related disc degeneration. As we age and our discs lose moisture, the discs become stiffer and at greater risk of tearing or rupturing. Depending upon the condition of your discs, even a small action like bending down and twisting to pick up something heavy can cause disc herniation. It is also possible to herniate a disc in a traumatic accident, such as a fall or car accident.
How to Tell if You Have a Herniated Disc
While most herniated discs are in the lower back, some people have disc herniation in the neck. If you have a herniated disc in your lower back, you often experience leg pain, numbness or tingling in the lower back that extends down one leg, and muscle weakness. Herniated discs typically cause symptoms on one side of the body.
A herniated disc in the neck may cause neck and shoulder pain and stiffness and numbness or tingling that radiates from the neck down one arm. Some people have disc herniation in their cervical or lumbar spine and don’t exhibit any symptoms.
ABChiropractic’s Spinal Decompression Therapy in St. Charles, MO
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive chiropractic treatment method for conditions of the spine. At ABChiropractic, we offer safe, effective spinal decompression therapy as a treatment for herniated discs. During spinal decompression therapy, you lie on a traction table while a machine slowly and gently stretches your spine. This allows vertebrae and discs to move gently back into place as your spine straightens.
