Disk Herniation

A disk herniation occurs when the soft center of a spinal disk pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing of the spinal cushion. Herniations can be caused by aging, overexertion, or intense pressure on a vertebra. A herniated disk can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.

Symptoms
  • Numbness
  • Tingling
  • Burning sensations
  • Muscle weakness
  • Muscle spasms
  • Overactive reflexes in the arms and legs
  • Swelling or significant muscle tension around a vertebra
Treatment Options

Treatment for disk herniations can vary depending on the significance of the injury. Treatment options include prescriptions and medication, MRI scans, massage therapy, physiotherapeutic exercise, medical procedures, PNF stretch, and spinal decompression. Our doctors will identify which treatments are appropriate for your injury.
