How Can I Repair My Slipped Disc?

Whether you call it a slipped disc, herniated disc or a bulging disc. The results are the same. A disc has extended out beyond your vertebrae and is pressing or pinching a nerve. In most case the nerve is your Sciatic Nerve. The Sciatic Nerve is the largest nerve in your body it runs along your spine and branches down both legs.

Due to some type of trauma, like an automobile accident or incorrectly lifting, a disc which serves as a flexible cushion between vertebrae has buldged out and is putting pressure on your sciatic nerve causing pain. This pain can radiate down your leg or legs. In some cases your leg and feet can feel numb. My own experience was that I had quite a bit of pain and numbness in my right leg. So my question to my doctor was "How can I repair my disc and stop the pain?"

Well there are several options:

1. Do Nothing: As crazy as it sounds in some cases the pain will go away without needing anything more than over the counter anti-inflammation medicine. So do not panic! By all means see your doctor if the pain persists.

2. See a Physical Therapist: Your physician may send you to a physical therapist you will evaluate your problem and prescribe a series of exercises. Again this maybe all you need. A trained therapist can really help ease and prevent the pain of a herniated disc from returning.

3. Visit a Chiropractor: These professionals are trained in treating spinal problems and can be the solution your are searching for providing relief to your suffering.

As you can see there are ways to repair that slipped disc. For some it may only require some medication and a short rest, for others a program of exercises, therapy or manipulation will stop the pain. Actually only a minority of people with back problems need surgery. So if you are experiencing back pain from a bulding disc, do not despair!
