Herniated Disk

Herniated disk is also known as a ruptured or protruding disk. A herniated disk extends beyond its own area into a surrounding region.

Its the compression of the nerve root can cause pain. And pressure on the fibers in surrounding ligaments can cause pain.

Although an accident involving lifting could be the cause of a herniated disk, it’s not necessarily so. For many, the cause is unknown; pain can occur suddenly or gradually over time.

Relief for the pain of a herniated disk can come from walking instead of sitting or standing, and surgery is rarely required right away, if at all in the event relief from pain happens within a limited amount of time.

Some people find physical therapy to help with a herniated disk. You need to work with your chiropractor and find out what your alternatives are to taking care of and healing your herniated disk.
