A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, occurs when one of the soft cushions that sit between the bones (vertebrae) of your spine pushes out. This can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. The causes can vary but it’s often the result of age-related wear and tear, improper lifting, obesity, or physically demanding jobs that require heavy lifting.
Symptoms
It is possible not to experience any noticeable symptoms from a slipped disc. However, most people feel pain in the area. Some additional symptoms of a slipped disc include:
- Pain in the affected area
- Pain that travels to the arms, legs or buttock
- Shooting pain
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Weakness
At the helm of our clinic is Dr. Ryan Johnson, a renowned chiropractor and Palmer graduate. Dr. Johnson adopts a unique, patient-centered approach to slipped disc treatment. Recognizing that each patient’s situation is unique, he crafts personalized treatment plans that cater to individual health histories, symptoms, and recovery goals.
Dr. Johnson employs a variety of therapeutic methods in his treatment plans. One such method is Piezo-Wave therapy, a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to target areas of pain and stimulate the body’s natural healing process. This therapy, combined with other modalities like spinal adjustments and corrective exercises, can drastically improve your condition and quality of life.
In addition to these treatments, we offer comprehensive guidance on lifestyle modifications and nutritional counseling to support your journey to recovery. At Integrated Chiropractic Clinic, we believe that holistic care is the key to long-lasting health and wellness.
