Non Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment

spinal stenosis

In medical terminology, many terms are used such as bulging disc, pinched nerve, slipped disc or ruptured disc to describe herniated disc condition. Spine damage caused by disease, injury or normal wear and tear can lead to rupture of disc. This condition is the result of inflammation of the disc material caused by aging and compression on the nerve system.

It can occur anywhere in the spine. Back pain is the most common symptom of a herniated disc. The treatment option for this condition is chosen, depending on the nature of the patient's pain and presenting symptoms. In most cases, the doctors opt to treat this in a non-surgical way.

At present, non-surgical herniated disc treatment is widely practiced since it offers positive results for patients with this condition. This non-invasive mode of treatment is intended to bring you back to your day-to-day activities by getting rid of the pain and other symptoms that have developed from the bulging disc. Use non-surgical treatment to lift the pressure on the nerve roots. This treatment plan is not applicable for patients of all age groups. A combination of different non-surgical treatment options is available, and this procedure works best and provides long term relief. Try non-surgical herniated disc treatment plan, which includes:

o A short period of bed rest as part of the treatment plan, followed by a gradual increase in activity
o Physical therapy and exercise program recommended by physical therapists/health professionals to promote circulation, strengthen and relax the muscles
