Navigating Disc Herniation and Discovering Relief with SoftWave Therapy

Disc herniations, particularly in the lumbar spine, can significantly impact one's life, causing debilitating pain and discomfort. At Back to Health Chiropractic in Santa Clarita, CA, led by Dr. Carolyn Griffin, we are committed to offering effective solutions for this condition. One such solution is SoftWave Therapy, a revolutionary non-invasive treatment that has shown remarkable results in managing disc herniation pain.

Understanding the Lumbar Spine and Disc Herniations

The lumbar spine, consisting of five vertebrae separated by discs, plays a crucial role in spinal flexibility and shock absorption. Each disc comprises an outer layer, the annulus fibrosus, and an inner gel-like core, the nucleus pulposus. 

Disc herniations are categorized based on their severity and location:

Bulging Disc: The disc extends beyond its normal boundaries but remains intact.

Protruding Disc: The outer layer weakens, causing a bulge that may press on surrounding nerves.

Extruded Disc: The inner core ruptures through the outer layer, often impacting spinal nerves.

Sequestered Disc: The inner core breaks free and moves into the spinal canal.

Causes and Symptoms

Disc herniations can arise from age-related degeneration, repetitive strain, or sudden injury. Symptoms typically include localized back pain, radiating leg pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. In severe cases, it may lead to loss of bladder or bowel control, requiring immediate medical attention.

Traditional Medical Treatments

The conventional approach to disc herniations usually involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, pain medications, corticosteroid injections, and, in some cases, surgical interventions like discectomy or spinal fusion.
