What is a herniated disc ?
What Are the Common Causes of a Herniated Disc?
Most disc problems are the result of wear and tear or degeneration. As we age, our discs become less hydrated and weaker, making them more susceptible to bulging or tearing. Physical activities can accelerate the degeneration of your discs. For example, sitting for long periods in the same position, carrying too much weight on your body, playing certain sports, engaging in work that requires a lot of bending, twisting or lifting, and even smoking can potentially lead to disc problems and pain.

How Can We Help You Manage the Pain?
We offer a wide range of treatment options for the pain caused by a herniated disc. Initially, we’ll conduct a thorough medical exam and carefully review your medical history. We may also use an MRI or an EMG (electromyogram) to determine the nature and extent of nerve, muscle and soft tissue injury.
We can prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxers and painkillers to alleviate your pain in the short term, as your body tries to heal itself. We’ll also evaluate your level of physical activity and may recommend that you refrain from certain activities while your body heals.
