These discs are actually like rubbery cushions between each of the stacked bones to help provide support and mobility of the spine. Within each of the discs is a jelly-like center called the nucleus. A <strong>herniated or slipped disc<\/strong> occurs when a portion of the nucleus pushes out from the disc.\u00a0While the disc does not really slip out of place, pressure on the disc\u00a0can force out a fragment of the nucleus. As a result, the outer layer of the injured disc\u00a0ruptures. Tricity Pain Associates\u00a0has helped countless men and women who have suffered from a slipped disc. Reach out to one of our offices in Texas to schedule a private consultation to discover solutions on how to manage and ease your pain. We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tricitypainassociates.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/herniated-disc-img.webp\" alt=\"Herniated Disc Pain Treatment\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"300\" width=\"430\" title=\"Herniated Disc Pain Treatment\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tSymptoms of a Herniated Disc\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>A <strong>herniated disc<\/strong>, which can occur in any part of the spine, can irritate a nearby nerve. Depending on where the herniated disc is, it can result in great discomfort. Symptoms to look out for include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Numbness or tingling in the affected area<\/li>\n<li>Muscle weakness<\/li>\n<li>Lower back pain (sciatica)<\/li>\n<li>Discomfort in the neck<\/li>\n<li>Pain in the arms or legs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\t\tCauses of a Herniated Disc\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Often, herniated discs are a part of the natural aging process. Over time, the discs lose water content, which makes them thinner and less durable. This is known as disc degeneration. As a result, they don&#8217;t absorb shock as well and are more likely to get strained. It may not always be possible to determine the exact cause of a herniated disc. For some, it can be caused by heavy lifting or a traumatic injury. Other factors, such as obesity, genetics, and having a physically demanding job, can increase your chances of experiencing a herniated disc.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tTreatment for Herniated Disc\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><strong>Tricity Pain Associates<\/strong> offers a variety of noninvasive treatments to help ease chronic pain. Generally, for a herniated disc, we will begin conservatively and advise low-impact activities or exercises to alleviate pressure and inflammation in the lower back and other affected areas. From there, we can prescribe anti-inflammatory medication to help you decrease pain even further. Your treatment plan may also include the use of steroid injections and physical therapy. In severe cases, surgery may be needed.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tFrequently Asked Questions\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">How do I know if I have a herniated disc?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<p>In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, with a herniated disc, you may also experience pain while sitting, sciatica (radiating pain into your legs), and pain aggravated by certain movements and activities, like bending, lifting, and coughing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">How long does a herniated disc take to heal?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<p>The recovery time for a herniated disc will vary for each individual. Depending on the severity and level of pain, recovery can be as quick as a week or as long as two months.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">How long should I rest a herniated disc?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<p>Usually, serious back pain can be soothed by one or two days of bed rest; however, it isn&#8217;t recommended that you rest for more than 48 hours. When you&#8217;re back on your feet, you should still take frequent breaks and avoid sitting for long periods of time. If you can, gentle stretching and movement may be helpful.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 tabindex=\"0\">How should I lie down if I have a herniated disc?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<p>Some specialists recommend lying in the fetal position (on your side with your legs tucked up toward your chest). Remember to switch sides to avoid imbalances.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tRelieve Radiating Pain\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with a herniated disc, contact Tricity Pain Associates to get the high-quality medical care you need to bring relief.
