Causes of herniated disc
Aging: Cartilage wears down, increasing the risk of a herniated disc.
Physical stress: Strenuous physical activities, such as lifting heavy weights, can cause a herniated disc.
Direct injuries to the spine: Whether from car accidents or sports injuries, they can increase the risk of a herniated disc.
Symptoms that may indicate a herniated disc
- Severe lower back pain: This pain may extend to the legs and feet, and gets worse with movement.
- Muscle weakness or numbness: Especially in the lower extremities, which may affect walking or standing for long periods.
Our physical therapy plans for herniated disc treatment
Deep Tissue Massage and Manual Techniques: Deep Tissue Massage is used to relieve muscle tension, and involves indirectly moving the vertebrae to relieve pressure on damaged discs.
Stretching and mobilization techniques: To improve spinal flexibility and reduce pain, the therapist uses manual and mobilization stretching techniques.
Ultrasound Therapy: This technique helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain, as the waves improve blood circulation and promote healing of damaged tissues.
Posture Guidance: We give you tips on how to avoid excessive bending or twisting, in order to reduce pressure on the vertebrae of the spine.
