What is a Herniated Disc?
You have spinal discs located all along your vertebrae. If you develop a crack in the casing of the vertebrae, one or more of these discs can push through. When this happens you have a herniated disc, which can go unnoticed and without causing pain. However, irritated herniated discs can cause back pain, numbness in the affected area, and weakness in a leg or arm.
How Does My Austin TX Chiropractor Provide Herniated Disc Treatment?
Herniated disc treatment by your Austin TX chiropractor starts with identifying the source of the problem. Dr. Wottrich uses x-rays along with manual manipulation to detect the herniated disc. From here he typically uses chiropractic adjustments that may include spinal decompression to resolve the herniated disc.
How Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Treat a Herniated Disc?
The primary goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to expand the spinal casing to allow for the herniated disc to return to its normal position. If you have inflammation and swelling at the site of the herniated disc you may benefit from a spinal decompression. This relieves swelling that causes pain due to pressure against the nerves surrounding the herniated disc. In return you experience natural pain relief from the condition.
