Herniated Disc Pain

You may be wondering what exactly a herniated disc is and how it causes you back pain. The vertebrae in your back are cushioned by round discs. They are in between each of your vertebrae. Their job is to be shock absorbers for your spine. A herniated disc is when a disc has bulged. The disc nucleus is moved out of the annulus into your spinal canal. This can cause a great deal of pain for you. 

Physical Therapy

If you suffer from a herniated disc that is causing you lower back pain, it may be a good idea to seek out a chiropractor that can help you with physical therapy. One way to help alleviate the pain that a herniated disc can cause is physical therapy. A physical therapist will examine your back and determine the best course of action that will alleviate your pain. The plan that they develop will directly focus on the area of your back where the pain is most prominent. Physical therapy can involve both active and passive treatments. This plays an important role in your road to recovery. Don’t let a herniated disc ruin your life. Seek out physical therapy to help with your lower back pain.

With hundreds of thousands of drivers on the road, the odds of getting into an accident are unfortunately high. Even if you are one of the best drivers, you may not be able to avoid crashes with negligent drivers. Often after an accident, drivers refuse medical care as they think they don't have any injuries, or the injuries are not too serious. However, pain and soreness can develop later in the day, so the best thing to do after an accident is to seek medical treatment. Sometimes, injuries affecting the soft tissue may not appear for days or weeks after an accident. Car accident injuries may include pain or stiffness, chronic and severe headaches, loss of range of motion, dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, as well as more severe issues like broken bones. Usually, those involved in an accident don’t realize how bad their injuries are until they’ve resumed their normal daily activities. After an accident, you should visit a physical therapist as it will: Help support your recovery process- Rather than sitting in a bed waiting for your body to heal, physical therapists can get you up and moving to help build your strength and reduce stiffness and pain. Reduce pain- Movement helps oxygenate the blood, which will help the body heal itself and reduce your pain. Prevent long-term damage- Physical therapy can prevent long-term damage like chronic pain and migraines if it is started right away. Prevent surgery- While strengthening muscles, ligaments, and tendons, physical therapy is much more cost-effective and doesn’t require downtime. If you have a serious injury, surgery may be required.
