When a non-medically trained person hears all the terms for a herniated disc, it seems there is more than one condition mentioned. However, all are used interchangeably to describe the same one. Whether ruptured, slipped, collapsed or protruded, it is still a herniated disc. One appointment with a leading Castle Rock chiropractor will help you to understand that, plus, find out if that is what causes your pain.
Individuals are pleased to find a way to alleviate the hurt without taking pain pills. Surgical procedures are something they are reluctant to consider as well. It is considered a last resort in many cases.
A chiropractor finishes an extensive education that focuses on the spinal column and nervous system. Your condition will be fully assessed to determine the appropriate care. Conditions requiring the intervention of another health care professional must be ruled out.
Sciatica is a painful disorder that begins at the lumbar spine and radiates down one leg. The large sciatic nerve extends down the back of both legs, branching off as it moves towards the ankle and foot. Sciatica rarely affects both legs. However, the victim may be disabled by the severe pain and the difficulty walking.
A physical exam, includes palpation of the spine, strength and range of motion tests plus an x-ray. When satisfied that spinal adjustments are the appropriate path to follow, you will be scheduled for a series of office visits to have them administered. Massage may be used concomitantly to relax tight muscles.
You and another person with what appears to be the same condition might take more or fewer adjustments before the pain is lifted. It all depends on age for one thing. Every adjustment will alleviate the severe pain a little more. Over time it will become manageable.
As the pain subsides you may prepare to resume working and doing all the things you did before the pain started. A moderate exercise program will keep your body flexible. If not possible, try taking a walk each day.
