A disc herniation occurs when a spinal disc shifts from its usual place, putting pressure on nearby nerves. This can lead to a variety of symptoms based on where the herniation happens.
In the lower back, you might experience lower back pain, lumbago, sciatica (pain that radiates down the legs), muscle weakness, and tingling sensations in your legs.
If the herniation affects discs in the neck, you might feel neck pain, headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, muscle weakness, and tingling in your hands.
Disc herniation can deeply affect your daily life, making it important to seek proper care to assess and treat this condition effectively.
A review of studies and clinical trials indicates that approximately 60-80% of patients with disc herniations report relief from symptoms such as pain and reduced disability following chiropractic treatment. These improvements are often attributed to spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle modifications recommended by chiropractors.
When your spine loses its natural curve, it can throw off your body’s balance and weight distribution. This misalignment puts extra stress on your vertebrae, which can weaken and damage the discs between them. Common causes include poor posture, falls, overexertion, or impacts.
Discs act as cushions between your vertebrae. When they start to break down, they can shift out of place and put pressure on nearby nerves or the spinal cord. This degeneration might cause the disc to lose its shape or even rupture.
