Causes of a Herniated Disc & How to Manage It

What Are The Initial Stages In Spinal Disc Herniation?

Before a disc herniates, it must go through some changes. These changes include muscular weakness, ligamentous laxity, joint fixation, and of course: insufficient blood flow to the injured disc. Holistic care means taking care of every aspect or as many elements as possible. Anything short of this will lead to reaggravation, flare-ups, and even worsening of your condition. Shortcuts and ineffective care methods do not address the causes of herniated discs. Neglecting your spinal disc issues or any attempts at getting by through shortcuts will only result in more misery. Mainly because, in time, you will get worse and may even need surgical intervention. In other words, don’t waste time with ineffective or insufficient attempts for the sake of short-term gains.

Which Part Of The Spine Is Most Affected By A Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc (protruded disc, prolapsed disc, extruded disc, or slipped disc) is a uncomfortable condition affecting the young and the old alike. It is the leading cause of disability. A herniated disc is the number one reason why people have spinal surgery. It also has the highest and most flawed method of care compared to any other spine disorder. The most common site for a herniated or slip-disc is the low back, but it can occur anywhere in the spine. Approximately 80% of herniated disc problems are in the neck or lower back. The key to recovery without surgery is a care technique that addresses all causes of a herniated disc.

The most common site of a herniated disc in the neck is the C5-C6 and the C6-C7. In comparison, the L4-L5 and the L5-S1 segments are the most common sites for disc herniation in the lower back. 

Care options offered by most do little as they lack the ability to target the root causes of a herniated disc. Some don’t have the proper care equipment, while others are inexperienced. What is worse is the centers with limited knowledge or insufficient skills to address the real cause of herniated disc (slipped disc). And as such, the vast majority of patients care for fail to show sustainable improvements.

What Are The Essential Components For Spinal Disc Herniations?

The most critical aspect of getting your spinal disc cared for is finding the right-center. A herniated disc is a difficult condition to reserve. Although many centers offer therapies or care, relatively few can actually make any difference. Therefore, you will have to do some homework to ensure that the care or care center you are going to is up for the task.

For care to be effective, it must address all of the root causes of a herniated disc. The multiple causes of a herniated disc make it difficult for many to offer you effective non-surgical solutions. As a result, the majority of patients that have a slipped disc needlessly suffer. Some will even opt for surgery. In comparison, others live with the discomfort. Chiropractic Specialty Center® has a focused, customized method of caring for a slipped disc. The care we provide helps the damaged tissue without injections or surgery.

The care you get from us addresses all of your spinal disc issues at their roots. So, avoid patch-ups or short-term palliative care. Palliative care and even medicine or muscles relaxers fail in the long term. Thus, it benefits you to investigate your options, choosing those that are suit your case. In other words, opt for targeted care options that help you find the root causes of a herniated disc.

Can Care help find The Actual Cause Of Herniated Discs?

Some offer discomfort management but, discomfort management will fail as they only have limited clinical applications. A herniated spinal disc (Slipped Disc) does not fall into the category where discomfort management is the primary means of care. For those with significant discomfort, discomfort management should be rendered concurrent with holistic corrective care. discomfort management has never addressed the causes of a herniated disc, and it will fall short.

Successful care occur when you get comprehensive care. So, when it comes to herniated discs, absolute knowledge as to the causes of a herniated disc (slip disc) as well as effective care options are paramount for successful outcomes.

Chiropractic Specialty Center® has gone to great lengths to acquire breakthrough technologies that provide effective holistic care that targets a herniated disc’s root causes. Besides, we hold regular training and educational courses. We are continually improving our skills and knowledge through research. In short, we have put measures and taken steps to bring non-operative care methods that none has in Southeast Asia. We are not aware of any that offer the same or similar form of holistic care anywhere else.

It would help if you also cared for the actual cause of the discomfort caused by protruded or herniated discs. So, visit our center today and address a herniated disc’s roots instead of covering the symptoms with medications.

What Are The Actual Causes Of Disc Herniation Or Slipped Discs?

The simple fact is that a healthy spinal disc does not herniate (slip disc). In fact, some degenerative spinal changes are necessary before a disc can herniate (Jill PG Urban and Sally Roberts 2003). Therefore, contrary to popular belief, disc herniations do NOT occur suddenly. Even in a traumatic accident (i.e., auto accident, sports injury, etc.), disc herniations only occur when there is a pre-existing condition such as a degenerated disc.

According to research presented by orthopedic surgeons Dr. Adams & Dr. Hutton, mechanically induced ruptures of a healthy spinal disc are only inducible in controlled laboratory testing. Even then, the mechanical forces need to be more significant than those that are ever commonly encountered. However, in most experimental tests, the vertebral body failed rather than the disc!

Another common cause of a herniated disc is schmorl’s nodes. Schmorl’s nodes or schmorl’s nodules are en-plate irregularities present in approximately 20% of adults. End-plate abnormalities in schmorl’s nodes cause a vertical disc herniation. Although schmorl’s nodes are uncomfortable, they can lead to damaged spinal discs and an eventual horizontal herniation of the spinal disc. Horizontal herniations are authentic slipped discs.

How A Spinal Disc Herniates Or Protrude Through?

In most cases, the discs herniate (either partially or entirely) posteriorly (towards the back) or postero-laterally (towards both back and side). When a disc herniates (slips), it presses on the nerve roots in the spinal canal (the spinal canal houses the spinal cord) or the foramina (the opening in-between each vertebra, where nerves exit) (Jill PG Urban and Sally Roberts 2003).

Herniated lumbar and cervical discs have proven to be a clinical challenge. To understand this, we must take a closer look at the mechanism of disc herniations and their clinical implications. In other words, the care you receive needs to focus on the, and as such, the need for a holistic non-surgical care plan is vital. And you know what, we identify and target all issues comprehensively and without surgery! Our in-depth knowledge and understanding of slipped discs are why our chiropractic professionals provide great care for our customer in Malaysia.

Human Spinal Disc

Spinal discs are avascular structures. In other words, they do not have a direct blood supply. Nutrients are diffused inward to comply with the demands of the spinal disc cells. The diffusion of nutrients takes place through the vertebral end-plate. The vertebral end-plates are less than 1 mm thick and embedded in the bones of the spine.

Contrary to common belief, these vertebral end-plates are not part of the vertebra but part of the spinal disc. It serves the spinal disc by providing an anchoring point to the vertebra and a structure through which nutrients must diffuse. Injury and neglect of minor spinal conditions lead to a malfunction to end-pates and an eventual interruption in the flow of nutrients to a spinal disc. Continued disruption in the flow of nutrients is the leading cause of a herniated disc.

Lack Of Blood-Flow Is The Leading Causes Of Disc Degeneration & Eventual Disc Herniation

Disc cells manufacture the aggrecan (protein molecule that is the building block of disc cells) molecules. Disc cells continuously create, replace, and rebuild the aggrecan molecules. As long as the disc cells have a proper uninterrupted flow of nutrients (water, glucose, amino acids, and oxygen) and a non-acidic environment, the spinal disc can rebuild and help as needed. An interruption in the flow of nutrient flow for the starving discal cells leads to degenerative changes. These degenerative changes, in turn, lead to a more severe disc condition such as a bulging or herniated disc.

Often, a herniated disc compresses the sensitive nerve fibers as they exit the spine. The compression of these fibers can lead to a local or radiating discomfort of varying intensity. The most disturbing aspect of a herniated disc is not the discomfort caused by the compression but rather the prolonged compression of the spinal cord or nerve. Thus, it is important to have our expert clinical teams assess all aspects of your discomfort for a complete recovery. Our clinical team’s skills and knowledge are unmatched by others. At our centers, you will find chiropractic physicians in Malaysia. Don’t settle for less; you only have one spine. Let our team provide the care you need today.

Spinal Cord And The Spinal Nerves

Unlike the spinal disc, the spinal cord and the spinal nerves have a direct blood supply. Tiny vessels within the spinal cord and spinal nerve provide the nutrients needed by that nerve to function. These small vessels often get compressed and pinched, disrupting the proper flow of nutrients into the spinal cord or nerve, leading to degeneration and possible necrosis (death of cells) of the neuronal (nerve) fibers, causing life-long neurological impairments.

Nerves control all cells in the human body, and for us to function at 100%, we need our nerves free of compressions and irritation. The human body is a magnificent structure with an elaborate system of checks and balances through nerves. It behooves us to ensure their proper and uninterrupted function.

The Importance Of Solving the Issue of Pinched Spinal Nerves

In the human body, there are approximately 800 billion cells. But, what you may not realize is that nerves control the function of each cell. The vast majority of these nerves originate from the spine. So, when a spinal nerve gets compressed, it just may cause more than back discomfort or neck discomfort.

A compressed spinal nerve can lead to malfunctions beyond the aches and discomforts one feels in or around the spine. In other words, the nerves that exit the lower back controls the functions of muscles of the spine, buttocks, and legs, but most importantly, they control the circulation in your abdomen, buttocks, and legs. Additionally, the lower spine nerves also control the functions of your intestines, bowels, bladder, reproductive, and sexual organs. Thus, highlighting the importance of solving the issue of pinched nerves.

Pinched Nerve Caused By Slipped & Protruded Spinal Disc

Slipped discs or slipped discs can pinch and irritate nerves. To recover, you need an accurate assessment of your condition. An accurate assessment is needed to identify all causes of a herniated disc. In other words, diagnosis is the difficult part. A herniated disc care plan must be precise to relieve a pinched nerve or nerves.

The 62 spinal nerves originate from the spinal cord, situated inside the spinal canal (a protective housing provided by the vertebral column) should not be compressed. Our clinical team is the expert you need to identify these areas of compression for an accurate diagnosis. Once we have diagnosed your condition, we will start our target care methods backed by sophisticated care equipment.

For our cell to function at 100%, we need the nerve that controls that cell to function at 100%. Let’s look at another example, the nerves that originate from your neck control not only the muscles, ligaments, joints, spinal disc, and vessels of the neck, but also every single cell in your upper extremities (shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, and fingers). If one of these nerves is irritated, compressed, or starts to go through degenerative changes, as seen in necrosis, that nerve and every cell it controls loses function.

The Bottom Line On Herniated, Protruded, Prolapsed & Bulging Disc

The bottom line is that you must opt for care methods that target the actual cause of a herniated disc. Caring for the cause of a herniated disc is far more complicated than what most believe. They are life-changers, and the change they bring is life-altering. Take our advice and trust only the learned and experienced.

Get your slipped disc care from a center like ours. In other words, those that care all of the root causes of a herniated disc. Back discomfort or neck discomfort care methods are only beneficial when holistic, targeting and helping find the actual cause of discomfort. Having back discomfort, neck discomfort, or a herniated disc may not be your fault. However, you have no one but yourself to blame for not getting the expert care you need.

When a disc herniates, its fibers protrude (slip) and compress the spinal cord and the spinal nerves. Prolonged compression of these delicate tissues leads to cellular damage within the nerve fibers. Damaged nerves will lead to disability, which limits every aspect of life. Heed the warning and get care from our team. Our non-surgical care methods are better and more effective compared to what others can do. Please don’t settle for less; let our team of collaborative chiropractors and physiotherapists help you today.

Weakness In Legs, Arms & Loos of Bowel Or Bladder Functions

A person with a herniated disc (slipped disc or protruded disc) usually develops leg discomfort, tingling, numbness, and even worse, weakness in their extremities’ muscles and ligaments. In some severe cases, patients develop paralysis of the involved extremity. There are many cases where patients have lost bowel and bladder control in the presence of lumbar (lower back) disc herniations. Erectile dysfunction often develops when back discomfort and slipped discs are ignored or cared for improperly. As for the females, they can end with gynecological problems, including fertility issues.

Therefore, timely diagnosis followed by proper care are of vital importance.
