A herniated disc, also called a slipped or ruptured disc, is a common spinal problem that ranges from mild discomfort to severe pain. It occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher outer layer, pressing on nearby spinal nerves. This pressure may cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness radiating into the arms or legs, depending on the location.
While most herniated discs affect the lower back, they can also occur in the neck or mid-back. Fulcrum Therapy focuses on non-invasive treatments to help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing without surgery. Recognizing symptoms like radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness is key for proper diagnosis and management. Our herniated disc specialists in Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam are dedicated to providing effective care for conditions like spinal stenosis.
Symptoms of This Condition:
Localized Spine Pain
Radiating Arm or Leg Pain
Muscle or Grip Weakness
Balance or Coordination Issues
Pain from Bending or Lifting
Limited Spinal Mobility
Disc herniations stem from various reasons. In this section, we’ll delve into the factors that can contribute to the development of a herniated disc. Understanding these causes can provide valuable insight into how the condition develops and help guide treatment options.
