Disc Herniation
The pursuit of excellence in sports can sometimes lead to unexpected physical challenges. One such challenge is disc herniation, which can significantly affect your mobility and performance. At Austin Manual Therapy, our commitment is to bring you back to your peak potential, ensuring that such setbacks are temporary.
What is Disc Herniation?
A disc herniation, often referred to as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. This can irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.
Symptoms to Recognize:
- Sharp or dull pain, primarily in the lower back or neck
- Tingling sensations or numbness in body parts served by the affected nerves
- Muscle weakness
- Pain that worsens during the night or with specific movements
