Treatment for Herniated Discs in Portland, Oregon

What is a Herniated Disc?

The spine is made up of several small bones called vertebrae. In between each vertebra are donut-shaped discs that have soft tissue elements in them. These discs are gel-filled, and act as a cushioning device that absorbs shock when you move around. Sometimes, the disc wall can become damaged which can allow some gel to escape. When this happens, a herniated disc, or bulging disc, injury occurs. This injury is typically related to aging due to the walls of the disc becoming brittle and breaking down over time. Sometimes though, a bulging disc injury can be a result of a direct impact or blunt force trauma to the spine.

What are Herniated Disc Symptoms?

People with a herniated disc often report feeling pain in the lumbar spine or cervical spine. Depending how severe the injury is, the pain can be dull or sharp. People with this condition can also experience a numbness or tingling sensation. A person might also report feeling more clumsy than usual, frequently dropping items or tripping.  

How Can a Chiropractor in Portland Help?

Chiropractic care is based on the delicate relationship between the body's structural and neuromuscular system. When these two systems are in balance, a person feels healthy and pain free. In order to achieve this balance, our chiropractors uses several tools and techniques to alleviate the pain. This can include manual manipulation, stretching and strengthening exercises, and massage therapy. For some patients, the damaged disc can be caused by spinal misalignment. By putting the spine back into alignment, the pressure can be released, thus allowing the damaged disc to heal quickly and naturally.
