A herniated or bulging disk is a upper back condition where by the internal gel-like part of the intervertebral disc has penetrated through the outer part of the disc. The gel-like middle of an intervertebral disc is held together by sheets called the annulus fibrosis. Once the middle of the disc has penetrated through the annulus fibrosis, it may cause mechanical pressure on neighboring structures and bring out chemical reactions resulting in low back pain. If the main issue is left untreated, it may lead to a life-altering low back pain condition.
Herniated or bulging discs may be caused by a rigorous strain or injury, as well as ongoing movement or stress associated with daily lifting. As we get older the ongoing wear and tear of the intervertebral disk may also lead to disk herniations. The indications of a herniated or bulging disk will vary depending on the position of the problem and your body’s response to pain.
Herniated lumbar disk indications have always been complicated to differentiate from other spinal disorders, as well as minor low back pain injuries. Intense low back pain radiating to the buttocks, legs and feet are a common symptom of those suffering from a herniated or bulging disk, which may also feel worse by merely coughing or laughing. Tingling or numbness in legs or feet is also a symptom for this low back pain condition. If the disk herniation is not fixed, a mid back pain sufferer may experience muscle weakness or even muscle deterioration as time expires.
A herniated cervical disk may lead to slight or severe neck pain. neck pain may be classified as slight or intense pain in shoulders, mid to upper arm, chest, forearm, hands and fingers. cervical pain may be intensified by simple actions such as turning or bending over, laughing and coughing.
A relatively new low back pain treatment identified as non-surgical spine decompression, provides relief of low back pain associated with herniated, bulging discs, degenerative disk disease, posterior facet syndrome, and sciatica. The theory behind non-surgical back decompression is a course of action whereby forces are applied to the spine in a manner that maximizes spinal elongation.
Non-surgical back decompression using the DRX9000™ involves application of forces logarithmically to elongate the spine without causing the muscles that guard the spine to contract. The technology necessary to apply spinal decompressive forces is very advanced. The DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System™ utilizes high-speed treatment computers to calculate the logarithmic back decompression treatment curve for each low back pain patient. Recently published clinical research data demonstrates very promising results for low back pain patients suffering with herniated or bulging discs.
While herniated and bulging discs are a familiar low back pain condition in America, low back pain patients today have a new effective, non-surgical alternative with the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™.
