Disc herniation solution

A herniated disc develops over years, usually at least 10 years. It can be the result of accidents, falls, poor posture, or strain.

An accident or a strong strain is not necessary; rather, the accumulation of all these factors can result in a herniated disc.

A stronger accident than the others may trigger your pain. However, there are no studies that state a hernia has to be painful. This is why 50% of asymptomatic people have one or more herniated discs. The formation of hernias is due to the loss of the curvature of the spine; the three curves of the spine allow it to support the weight of our body.

When losing the natural curvatures of the spine, the weight will increase in the areas where those curvatures change (base of the neck and lumbar base).

This is because all the weight rests on the discs in the area of the curvature loss. This is why most herniated discs are located in the lower cervical and lower lumbar regions. Solutions to recover one or more herniated discs

Herniated Disc and Chiropractic, Is it Worth Investing Time?

When you have a herniated disc, it is not fun at all! Your movement is restricted, and getting out of bed or a chair seems impossible. Sleeping in your bed is difficult, and fortunately, you don’t have to go shopping! Because pushing a cart is complicated, although at least you have something to hold on to for support. But what can you do to improve?

Medical Treatment of Herniated Discs

There is a big difference in how conventional doctors treat herniated discs compared to how chiropractic doctors do. Doctors generally choose to wait until your symptoms are so severe that you have bowel and bladder incontinence. In the meantime, they will send you home with pain relievers and anti-inflammatories.

These medications may have some effect, but they are doing nothing to solve the herniated disc. If medications are taken for too long, they can cause side effects such as intestinal bleeding, immune system depression (making you susceptible to infections), nausea, diarrhea, digestive disorders, or other side effects.

The medical treatment that opts for surgical intervention on the spine is often the worst choice. There are thousands of “failed back surgeries” each year. This means that the procedure simply does not work, despite you having gone through all the pain and suffering of surgery and recovery. The recovery from the intervention will deplete your vitamins and minerals since your body will need a lot of both to heal.

The biggest problem with this type of surgery is that it fuses the vertebrae above the herniated disc with the vertebra below it. However, the purpose of the spine is to allow movement! What happens is that after a while, the disc above and below the fused disc may end up causing another hernia because these areas wear out faster due to the additional tension from the fixed position and the strain on them. Many people initially say they wish they had never had surgery for their herniated discs.

How Chiropractic Doctors Treat Herniated Discs

Chiropractic doctors will evaluate you to determine the level of the herniated disc, similar to conventional doctors. However, their approach is to implement strategies for pain correction so that your body can reduce inflammation naturally – and do so without medications, if possible. For example, many chiropractors may use ice on the skin over the hernia. This will facilitate a pain relief response in the body as the inflammation decreases.

Different stages of hernias

Another goal of chiropractic care is to help restore movement to each segment of the spine, including the segments that are herniated. Once your back regains the movement for which it was designed, you will have no more pain.

A herniated disc means that the disc has moved out of its place in the spine. In reality, any movement of the disc interferes with the nerves surrounding the spine, and this is where the pain comes from. The nerves “scream” when they are compressed or irritated. If they are left compressed or irritated for too long, the time they need to recover and heal can extend to several months.

Your chiropractor will manually adjust the spine and physically move the bones of the spine to allow the herniated disc to return to its proper place in the spine. Often, people with herniated discs will tell their chiropractor that they heard a pop before the pain started. This is a clear sign that the problem is indeed a matter of misalignment in the spine. Physically moving the vertebrae of your spine will also help to create the correct curvature of the spine that is missing in the neck or lower back, wherever the hernia occurred.

You Will Need More Than 5 Treatments!

Repeated adjustments will ensure that the disc that has slipped is pushed back into its correct place. Generally, your chiropractor will make these manual adjustments once a day during the first week, and then the frequency will decrease as you improve. Their goal is not to keep you coming back for treatment, but rather to manually align the spine to allow your body to take its time for self-regeneration and healing. In the meantime, the doctor will use those other pain correction strategies so that you do not have to rely on pain medications.

Many chiropractors may also recommend natural herbs such as turmeric and cat’s claw (uncaria tomentosa) that are soothing while you are recovering. Again, the use of these natural herbs will help with pain as you improve, plus they have no side effects.

Studies have shown that many people who suffered herniated discs at work or in traffic accidents and only received conventional medical treatment often continue to suffer the residual effects of the injury, months or even years later. They still had pain, and many had to leave their jobs due to the pain that became relentless.

However, even in conditions such as herniated discs, chiropractic doctors will make a significant difference. Studies show that chiropractic resolves the symptoms of herniated discs, making it the solution to the condition. Those who chose chiropractic care had fewer days off work. In a study conducted by an insurance agency, patients of conventional doctors needed 54.5 days of rest compared to only 34.3 days off work for lower back pain.

The next time you suspect you have a herniated disc, first go to a chiropractor. And you will end up getting ahead of the conventional medicine game…
