Herniated discs often cause debilitating pain that significantly impacts your ability to enjoy daily life or perform work effectively. Whether your herniated disc occurred due to natural wear and tear or an accident, you need prompt treatment to feel your best again. Minnesota ChiroWorks in Fridley, MN, uses holistic and non-invasive chiropractic care to treat herniated discs and help patients regain mobility. We are here to tell you some of the most common signs you have a herniated disc and how we can treat them.
The most common symptom of a herniated disc is pain. This pain often radiates from the back to the buttocks, legs, or feet. Herniated discs may also compress the sciatic nerve, leading to sciatica pain that travels down the leg. Some people experience pain on one side of their body or back, while others have pain that worsens with movements like coughing, sneezing, or bending over.
Numbness or tingling in the extremities is another frequent sign of a herniated disc. Pressure on the nerves due to a herniated disc in the lower back often leads to these sensations in the legs or feet. Herniated discs in the upper back result in numbness or tingling sensations in the arm and hand.
Sudden weakness or a loss of grip strength may indicate you have a herniated disc. The muscles controlled by the pinched or compressed nerves often feel weak due to a herniation, especially in the arms or legs. Severe herniated discs may even lead to bowel and bladder issues.
Our chiropractor can diagnose the underlying cause of your herniated disc and develop a treatment plan to help you feel like yourself again. Spinal adjustments and manipulations can correct misalignments caused by your herniated disc. Doing this also helps restore your disc to its proper placement. Therapeutic stretches and exercises can strengthen your back muscles to prevent future herniation. We may also recommend lifestyle adjustments to reduce your risk of developing a herniated disc.
