Disc Prolapse Treatment
Disc Prolapse Treatment
Disc prolapse, commonly known as a slipped or herniated disc, can cause debilitating pain and discomfort. Our disc prolapse treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
Treatment Options
Our approach to disc prolapse treatment may include:
- Pain management techniques such as medication, epidural injections, or nerve blocks to alleviate discomfort.
- Physical therapy exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pressure on the affected disc.
- Spinal decompression therapy to relieve pressure on the spine and promote healing of the prolapsed disc.
- Chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine and reduce irritation of the affected nerve roots.
- Surgical intervention may be recommended in severe cases where conservative treatments fail to provide relief.
FAQs
What causes disc prolapse?
Disc prolapse can be caused by age-related degeneration, injury, lifting heavy objects, or repeated bending and twisting motions.
How is disc prolapse diagnosed?
Disc prolapse is typically diagnosed through a physical examination, imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans, and sometimes nerve conduction studies.
Can disc prolapse be prevented?
While disc prolapse cannot always be prevented, maintaining good posture, avoiding heavy lifting, and engaging in regular exercise to strengthen the core muscles can help reduce the risk.
