Herniated Disc Q & A

What is a herniated disc?

A herniated disc, also referred to as a bulging disc, occurs when the rubbery cushion that separates your vertebral bones becomes damaged or torn, allowing the gel-like center to leak out and irritate the nerves that run along your spinal cord.

You can develop a herniated disc in any part of your spine, but they most often occur in the lumbar spine, where the vertebral bones make up your lower back.

Herniated discs often develop from the degeneration and drying out of the disc that occurs as you get older, making it more susceptible to damage. You may be at greater risk of developing a herniated disc if you have a physically demanding job or you’re overweight or obese. An injury to your back can also lead to a herniated disc.


What are the symptoms of a herniated disc?

Radiating pain is the most common symptom of a herniated disc. However, not everyone with a herniated disc develops symptoms.

Other symptoms of a herniated or bulging disc include:

  • Intense pain in your arm, buttock, or leg
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Muscle weakness

You should seek help from the experts at Little Elm Chiropractic as soon as you start to notice symptoms. Starting conservative chiropractic treatment early for your herniated disc may help prevent damage to your nerve and complications.


How can chiropractic care improve my herniated disc?

The experts at Little Elm Chiropractic can provide treatment to help relieve your symptoms through gentle spinal manipulation. Spinal adjustments can help align your spine and reduce pressure on your nerves, providing relief from your pain.
