Herniated Disc Treatment in NYC

Herniated discs can occur anywhere along the spine and cause varying degrees of discomfort and pain, ranging from mild to immobilizing.  Herniations result from ruptures in the discs, which are meant to act as the spine’s natural shock absorbing mechanism and are located between each vertebra.  When a disc is ruptured, the gel-like substance it contains can spill out and cause nerve and soft tissue irritation and loss of spinal flexibility and function.  Herniated discs, when left untreated, can become so severe as to completely restrict movement in the affected area of the spine.

Discs can rupture under pressure from spinal subluxations.  The most common affected area is the lower back, although herniated discs can occur anywhere along the spine.  Some of the most frequent causes of herniated discs are poor posture, sedentary lifestyle habits, excessive weight, pregnancy, injuries, and more.  Herniated discs in the lower back often result in the set of symptoms known as sciatica, which are characterized by shooting pains that originate in the lumbar area and travel down the buttock and leg and may be accompanied by numbness and weakness.
