Herniated Disc

About Herniated Discs

The spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae separated by discs, which serve as shock absorbers. These discs have a rubber-like outer band that protects the gel-like nucleus. Herniated Discs occur when part of the nucleus of a spinal disc pushes through a fissure in the exterior.

Also known as slipped discs or ruptured discs, disc herniations can affect both the cervical (neck) and lumbar (back) regions of the spine. Herniations can arise from multiple causes, including degenerative disease, trauma to the back or neck, sports injuries and improper bending or lifting. People injured in auto accidents or with physically-demanding jobs commonly experience this type of injury.

This can cause back pain or referred pain, numbness, tingling, Sciatica and muscle weakness, and other symptoms. Moreover, these symptoms are not always immediate, which can make the condition difficult to self-diagnose. The healthcare providers at Austin Preferred Integrative Medicine first reach a proper diagnosis during a thorough evaluation before creating personalized care plans for Herniated Disc treatment in Austin.
