Between each vertebra in your spine lies a remarkable structure, a spinal disc that serves as both shock absorber and spacer, allowing you to bend, twist, and flow through life’s movements. But when these unsung heroes rupture or bulge, they make their presence known through unmistakable pain. At Beverly Hills Disc and Laser Therapy Center in Beverly Hills, CA, we listen to what your herniated discs are trying to tell you.
Request an AppointmentHow Discs Herniate
Imagine your spinal disc as a jelly donut; a tough outer ring surrounding a gel-like center. Herniation occurs when that inner gel pushes through a weakened spot in the outer ring.
This breakdown typically does not happen overnight. Years of minor stresses accumulate, the forward slouch over your laptop in Beverly Hills coffee shops, the strain from navigating Los Angeles traffic, or sudden twisting movements. Age naturally diminishes your discs’ water content, making them less flexible and more prone to tearing. Sometimes, a single traumatic event provides the final push toward herniation.
Recognizing the Symptoms
A herniated disc’s symptoms are unique and intense:
- •Sharp, electric pain radiating down your arm or leg
- •Numbness or tingling following the affected nerve’s path
- •Muscle weakness making familiar activities suddenly challenging
- •Pain that intensifies with certain positions or movements
The location of your herniated disc determines where you feel symptoms. Neck herniations affect arms and hands, while lower back herniations typically impact legs and feet.
Advanced Solutions for Real Relief
At Beverly Hills Disc and Laser Therapy Center, our chiropractor has assembled cutting-edge therapies that address herniated discs at their source:
Our spinal decompression therapy gently stretches your spine, creating negative pressure that allows retraction of the herniated material while promoting healing nutrient flow into the disc.
The proprietary Ring Dinger® technique provides a controlled stretch to your spine that decompresses joints and discs simultaneously, offering immediate relief to many patients suffering from herniations.
For inflammation reduction and accelerated healing, our MLS Laser Therapy penetrates damaged tissue with specific light wavelengths that stimulate cellular regeneration and reduce pain, while red light therapy enhances this healing process as well.
Precise chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment to vertebrae surrounding the herniated disc, reducing pressure on irritated nerves.
