What is a Herniated Disc – Should You Worry About It?
- Many people get scared when they hear the word “hernia” or experience uncomfortable symptoms.
And the big question that always comes up:
What exactly is a herniated disc?
- A herniated disc occurs when the intervertebral disc or ligaments bulge out and put pressure on the surrounding nerves.
- This can cause pain, numbness, or tingling – and is often accompanied by restricted movement.
When should you pay attention?
- If the herniated disc causes persistent pain, limited movement, or severe nerve symptoms, it is definitely worth consulting a professional.
- In such cases, joints and muscles are often out of their natural positions, forcing other parts of the body to compensate. Over time, this can lead to musculoskeletal complaints, muscle imbalance, and asymmetry.
How can treatment help?
- The goal of treatment is to return the joints to their proper positions while loosening the muscles and restoring body balance.
- This reduces pressure on the nerves, relieves stress on the muscles, and helps prevent further problems in the long term.
- If you have persistent pain, numbness, or limited movement, consulting a professional is recommended – restoring the body’s balance can greatly help relieve symptoms and reduce the issues caused by a herniated disc.
