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