Herniated Disc Help San Diego
Each vertebrae in the spine is supported by a disc that works as a shock absorber for your entire body. A herniated disc is also often referred to as a "slipped disc". This occurs when a disc interferes with your body's nerve tissues. THis pressure put on to the cord or spiral nerve can create even more symptoms such as severe pain, weakness, numbness, and even loss of bladder or bowel control!
The medical model created in today's society approaches treatment to slipped discs with prescription pain relievers and injections in to the spine to decrease the inflammation and swelling. In some cases even antidepressent medicaion is used. These types of treatments are very common but only help to alleviate symptoms, NOT address the root cause of the disc herniation.
