Murfreesboro Chiropractic Care for Herniated Disc Back Pain

A herniated disc, a common source of back pain for many in Murfreesboro, doesn't always warrant surgery. Non-surgical treatments like ours at Most Chiropractic Clinic can extend significant relief without the costly financial burden and inherent risk related to back surgery.

WHAT A DISC HERNIATION IS

A herniated disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc protrudes through the exterior casing, triggering pain, numbness, or weakness. Factors like age-related wear and tear, sudden strain, or repetitive movements can contribute to this. Indicators that this has occurred include back or neck pain, pain radiating to arms or legs, tingling or numbness, and muscle weakness. Timely recognition leads to faster relief and return to your normal Murfreesboro activities of daily living!

WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO TREAT A HERNIATED DISC

Surgery often comes to mind for many while non-surgical treatment is quite successful. Surgery, often thought of as a quick fix, is costly and risky. It can lead to infections, blood clots, nerve damage, and lengthy recovery times. Further, surgery does not necessarily guarantee lasting relief. Research documents that many patients attain significant relief through non-surgical treatments, focusing on managing pain and enhancing function. One such method is chiropractic care, involving diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders via hands-on spinal manipulation and other treatments. Techniques include spinal manipulation - like our Cox® Technic flexion-distraction – along with nutrition and therapeutic exercise, aiming to provide pain relief, improved functionality, and overall well-being.

NON-SURGICAL CARE OPTIONS

Studies support the effectiveness of these non-surgical treatments as they focus on managing pain and improving function. Zhang et al. (2023) did a comprehensive study on lumbar disc herniation management. The study provides helpful insights into the success of non-surgical treatments for most people. Davison et al. (2020) examined healthcare spending for patients with herniated lumbar discs. They discovered and described the cost-effectiveness of non-surgical treatments, including chiropractic care. Lilly et al. (2021) assessed non-operative management strategies for herniated lumbar discs. Their results emphasize the success of conservative care methods in procuring relief and improving patient outcomes. Other studies, like Gudavalli's (2006), compared flexion-distraction to active exercise, and flexion-distraction (called Cox® Technic) provided 250% more relief of disc herniation-related radicular leg pain.
