Is Paragon The Best Place For Herniated Disc Treatment New Port
Back pain may have multiple causes, so a complete evaluation is necessary. The spine experts at Paragon Health Group may take the following steps to determine what is causing your symptoms and determine if you have a herniated disc and require herniated disc treatment New Port.
Herniated disc disease can be very painful. The intervertebral discs are the shock-absorbing cushions between each pair of vertebrae in your spine. Each disc has a strong outer ring of fibers, called the annulus, and a soft, gelatinous center, called the nucleus pulposus. The disc’s nucleus serves as the main shock absorber for the adjacent vertebrae.
If you get a tear in the outer (annular) ring of the disc, the soft nucleus pulposus can protrude into the spinal canal. This common and painful disorder is called a herniated disc. It may show up gradually or over a period of time. Pain is typically felt in the lumbar region (low back) but can extend to the inside, backside or front of your lower extremities. The pain can radiate to the buttocks, back of thighs and even below the knee. When you have a herniated disc, you have pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling.
