Our spine is the back bone of our body; the foundation of our bone structure. With 24 moveable bones and 23 discs this structure is a little complex. Although this structure is sturdy, at times these discs can be damaged. If this occurs a nerve can be pinched or irritated and you can suffer from unbearable pain that is so bad you can’t even move.
There are different types of disc problems. Most commonly they are a bulging disc and a herniated disc. Although these may sound like the same problem to the untrained ear the effects caused by each can be very different. In the medical field this condition is normally referred to either as contained or non-contained.
A disc has a very strong outer fibrous shell. Inside the shell is a gel like substance. When one is experiencing a contained bulging disc this simply means that the gel has been contained inside the shell.
On the other hand a ruptured or herniated disc is referred to as a non-contained disc. All this means is that the gel like substance has penetrated the outer shell and by doing so has affected the nervous system leading to unbearable pain.
If there is a spinal problem that you don’t want to play with it is a disc problem. Anytime you are dealing with the nervous system it can be very dangerous. By utilizing bulging disc treatment in Perth, Chiropractors Jonathon Tan and Joseph Dias can offer you some relief if you visit them at Perth CBD Chiropractic (Central City Health Professionals).
As unbelievable as it may sound there are people who have a bulging disc and don’t even know it. They live normal lives and never have a problem. Then there are others who live a nightmare suffering with symptoms like pins and needles, weakness in the leg, numbness in the limbs or severe foot issues. In the worse case scenario unbearable pain is experienced.
Take a look around the office sometime. If you see workers demonstrating poor posture then you can feel pretty safe that they are placing their discs under unnecessary strain. Poor posture has a way of placing extra wear and tear and incredible strain on your discs.
The ability to repair themselves is not an option for our discs. This is why it is essential to seek chiropractic care anytime that you think there is the slightest possibility that you have a disc problem. Often disc surgery can be avoided if the problem is detected early on. It is imperative that you allow someone professionally trained to assist you with the pressure, joint mobility and nerve issues.
