Herniated Discs And The Facts You Should Be Aware Of

herniated discs
Herniated discs:

  • Occur due to pressure in the disc becoming too great. When this happens the disc tears through the disc wall, which often results in the disc impinging painfully on nerve roots.
  • Will often lead to: numbness, tingling or muscle weakness in the arm or leg.
  • Can occur without you knowing it.
  • Most often occurs in your lower back but can also occur in your neck.
  • Rarely are caused by a traumatic event.

Causes of Herniated Discs Include

  • Disc degeneration. This is simply wear and tear on your disc due to aging.
  • Loss of their water content, which occurs due to the aging process.
  • Lifting improperly.

Testing Procedures for Herniated Discs

Before starting a therapy regiment for any of your herniated discs your doctor may put you through various different diagnostic tests.

In the diagnosis process for herniated discs a doctor will often put you through a physical exam and review your medical history. Your doctor might decide to collect more data on your condition by using one of the following procedures:

  • X-rays: a test doctors choose to help them check for degenerative lesions in the spine and to evaluate your spinal bones and joints.

  • Cat Scan (CT): a method chosen by doctors if you are suspected to have problems in your bones.

  • Myelogram: a standard test that helps flex your spinal area through an injection of dye most commonly used before you are x-rayed.
