  2. WHAT IS A HERNIATED DISC? The spine consists of 33 bones referred to as vertebrae. The vertebrae are cushioned by discs made up of a gel-like substance. This cushions the discs and prevents friction. It’s the discs that allow movement of the spine, such as bending over. However, if a disc slips out of place between the vertebrae, you have a herniated disc. This condition is also known as a ruptured disc or slipped disc. A herniated disc can cause extreme pain if it irritates the surrounding nerves. HOW DOES PHYSICAL THERAPY BENEFIT A PERSON WITH A HERNIATED DISC? Your physical therapist will choose specific treatments that include targeted stretches and exercises to help restore movement and reduce pain. Passive movements may be performed on you by a physical therapist and then you can progress to active exercises on your own. www.victorytherapywellness.com

  3. CAUSES OF DISC HERNIATION Sometimes, people are unable to determine what caused their herniated disc. We move so much, and ther are certainly moments where we injure yourself and don’t realize it until days or weeks later when the pain hits! The most common symptoms of a herniated disc are arm or leg pain. Many patients report feeling tingling, numbness, or a general feeling of weakness in their extremities. Of course, there is always the threat of this condition forming as a person ages. A herniated disc often caused by age-related wear and tear. This condition is known as disc degeneration. With age, the disc loses water content, which makes them more prone to tearing and less flexible. Twisting and turning when lifting something can also cause a herniated disc. Even a fall or strike to the back can result in a herniated disc. Excessive weight, occupation and genetic disposition can be the cause of disc herniated, too.
