Disc Herniation Relief with SoftWave Therapy at Austin Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic

Published December 16th, 2023 by Austin Chiropractic & Acupuncture

At Austin Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic, led by Dr. Justin Swanson in Austin, TX, we understand the challenges of living with disc herniation pain. Our clinic offers a revolutionary solution with SoftWave Therapy, providing non-invasive and effective relief.

The Anatomy of Discs in the Lumbar Spine

The lumbar spine, consisting of five vertebrae separated by discs, plays a crucial role in spinal flexibility and shock absorption. Each disc comprises an annulus fibrosus (tough outer layer) and a nucleus pulposus (gel-like inner core).

Types of Disc Herniations

Disc herniations vary in severity and location, classified into:

  • Bulging Disc: Extends beyond normal boundaries but remains intact.
  • Protruding Disc: Bulges and may press on surrounding nerves.
  • Extruded Disc: Inner core ruptures through the outer layer, often impacting nerves.
  • Sequestered Disc: Inner core breaks free and moves into the spinal canal.

Causes and Symptoms

Disc herniations can result from age-related degeneration, repetitive strain, or injury. Symptoms include back pain, radiating leg pain, numbness, and muscle weakness.

Conventional Medical Treatments

Traditional treatments for disc herniations include:

  • Conservative Methods: Rest, physical therapy, and pain medications.
  • Corticosteroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
  • Surgery: Discectomy or spinal fusion in severe cases.

SoftWave Therapy's Superior Approach

SoftWave Therapy, offered at Austin Chiropractic & Acupuncture Clinic, provides a non-invasive, effective alternative for disc herniation treatment.

Benefits of SoftWave Therapy

  • Pain and Inflammation Reduction: Targets pain and inflammation for immediate relief.
