A herniated or bulging disc is a back condition where by the internal gel-like portion of the intervertebral disk has infiltrated through the outer segment of the disk. The gel-like center of an intervertebral disk is detained together by sheets called the annulus fibrosis. Once the center of the disk has infiltrated through the annulus fibrosis, it may cause mechanical pressure on adjoining structures and elicit chemical reactions leading to low back pain. If the core problem is left untreated, it may lead to a life-altering low back pain condition.
Herniated or bulging discs may be caused by a rigorous strain or injury, as well as ongoing movement or tension associated with daily lifting. As we age the constant wear and tear of the intervertebral disc may also lead to disk herniations. The indications of a herniated or bulging disc will vary depending on the locality of the problem and your body’s response to pain.
Herniated lumbar disc indications have always been hard to differentiate from other spinal disorders, as well as minor low back pain injuries. Intense low back pain radiating to the buttocks, legs and feet are a familiar symptom of those suffering from a herniated or bulging disc, which may also feel worse by just coughing or laughing. Tingling or numbness in legs or feet is also a symptom for this low back pain condition. If the disc herniation is not fixed, a back pain sufferer may experience muscle weakness or even muscle deterioration as time passes by.
A herniated cervical disc may lead to slight or severe cervical pain. cervical pain may be categorized as slight or intense pain in shoulders, upper arm, chest, forearm, hands and fingers. neck pain may be intensified by simple movements such as turning or bending over, laughing and coughing.
A relatively new low back pain therapy identified as non-surgical spinal decompression, provides relief of low back pain associated with herniated, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, and sciatica. The theory behind non-surgical back decompression is a course of action whereby forces are applied to the spine in a manner that maximizes spinal elongation.
Non-surgical back decompression with the DRX9000™ involves application of forces logarithmically to elongate the spine without causing the muscles that guard the spine to contract. The technology needed to apply spinal decompressive forces is very sophisticated. The DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System™ utilizes high-speed treatment computers to calculate the logarithmic back decompression treatment curve for each low back pain patient. Recently published clinical research data demonstrates very promising results for low back pain patients suffering with herniated or bulging discs.
While herniated and bulging discs are a familiar low back pain condition in America, low back pain patients today have a new effective, non-surgical alternative with the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™.
