Bulging Disc Treatment
Having a bulging disc can be something that will provide a significant amount of discomfort and pain. The unfortunate truth however, is that millions of people all over the world
suffer from this pain on a regular basis, and right now doctors and scientists do not have a foolproof answer for it. However, if you take some responsibility yourself, then you should be able to find a bulging disc treatment that will provide you with some relief and sort out the problem for good.
One of the first things you may want to do is to address the specific symptoms you are suffering from to get some relief from the pain and discomfort that you are experiencing. Modern medicine and therapy will offer you plenty of different ways of treating the symptoms that you suffer from.
However, most of these treatments will not actually act as a true cure, but will simply supply some initial relief from the symptoms that you are suffering from. They do not sort out the core problem of your herniated disc, and therefore without a bulging disc treatment to get right to the core of the problem, it is only going to reoccur in the future.
As such, it is important that you find the exact cause of the problem so that you can work out the specific treatment that you will require. In the main, a bulging disc is caused by any one of numerous damaging factors to the spine. The disc that is damaged will be in any one of four stages of severity that will cause different symptoms.
Essentially, the pain caused by your bulging disc or your herniated disc is a symptom of whatever stage the disc is in, and therefore you need to discover exactly what stage it is in. Once you have done this you can follow a course of treatment that will sort out the problem for good.
The Healthy Back Institute is one of the best back injury recovery web sites available. Check out the video below and the related exercise videos.
All in all, there are all sorts of treatments that you can consider in order to address the problem.
A simple chiropractic adjustment might be able to address the issue and give you some relief in the short term, but ongoing exercises or physical therapy is likely to be needed to both alleviate and keep the problem from returning both in the same or a different disc.
What many people do not consider or realize that is critical to recover from back injuries is practicing good posture. With a herniated disc this is critical because poor posture habits will cause undue pressure to be put on the damaged disc making the pain worse and increasing recovery time.
BULGING DISC EXERCISES PREFERRED |
Be sure to bend your legs and keep your back straight when lifting even light objects from the floor.
Hold any relatively heavy object tucked in close to your body when carrying it.
If you have to sit upright for an extended period of time be sure to sit with back supported correctly with an appropriate chair or lumbar support cushion with thighs parallel to the floor, even if you have to use a stool to do so.
Sleeping on your side or back on a quality mattress is essential for a herniated disc.
And finally, for women, high heels should be avoided at all costs while bulging disc treatment is ongoing.
These are the activities that we do daily and for long periods of time that are actually the greatest determining factor of how quickly we recover from a herniated disc.
Very well illustrated! That kind of exercise is really important. But in rare cases, a herniated disc may completely block a group of nerve roots in the lumbar spine called the cauda equina. -
