Las Vegas Chiropractor Reduces Slipped Disc Pain Safely

by Rae Patricio

Certainly some of the most common problems seen by chiropractors these days are disc-related. Slipped discs (or bulging or herniated discs, depending on which terminology is used) can be a source of considerable pain and discomfort for many sufferers. A Henderson NV chiropractor is able to alleviate disc-related symptoms in safe, natural ways that do not rely on drugs or surgery.

Disc herniation can occur in any part of the spine but is seen most often in the lower or upper parts. The discs act as 'cushions' between the vertebrae and consist of a gel-like center that is contained within a fibrous outer casing. When, for whatever reason, the outer casing is torn, the soft center of the disc can protrude outwards, pressing on the spinal nerves and producing the symptoms described above.

When it comes to caring for patients with disc issues chiropractors have a number options. The type of care given will very much depend upon the individual and his or her particular problem. For simple pain relief, heat application from a wrap, infra-red light or an ultrasound device can prove highly beneficial.

Heat can penetrate through tissues, relaxing them, easing tension and increasing blood flow. This can produce a very welcome bout of relief for many patients. The improved blood flow also aids healing by providing more oxygen to injuries and carrying away waste matter.

To provide longer-term pain relief and to help remedy the problem at its core, the chiropractor can apply spinal manipulation. This involves correcting any displaced vertebrae by pushing them back into place by hand or with an instrument. When the spine is correctly aligned, this relieves unnatural pressure on the joints, discs, muscles and tendons and thus reduces pain.

This relieves pain, but also has the effect of drawing displaced discs back into position. This draws them back from the spinal nerves and gives them an opportunity to heal. The healing process can be relatively quick (a few weeks), but some cases (e. G. Older patients with more serious disc damage) can take much longer.
