Herniated Disc Treatment in Rockledge Florida

ROCKLEDGE, Fla. - Oct. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Discs are the tissues located between the individual vertebrae that make up the spine.  Their purpose is to provide flexibility along the spine.  When healthy, discs are pliable and resilient and aid in proper spinal function and support.  However, when a spinal disc undergoes any type of trauma, herniation is likely to occur.  Discs are filled with a gel-like substance that provides spinal shock absorption.  When a disc is damaged or ruptured, this fluid will leak or dry up, causing the disc to shrink in size or alter its natural positioning, thus leaving the spine at risk for injury and damage, which can become permanent if damaged disc structures are not repaired.

When a disc becomes herniated, it may tear or slip and decrease the space between vertebrae.  This can lead to problems, such as painful friction, pinched nerves, nerve damage, spinal imbalances, all of which may cause repercussions in other areas of the body, manifesting in pain or problems.  The spine is the body’s central control system, which means all of the body’s organs are connected to it.  Any issues within the nerve system have the potential to spread to other body parts and cause additional difficulties.

Herniated discs are a preventable and treatable issue.  Treatment success rates are higher when the condition is detected early, before the damage has had the opportunity to become permanent.  The most effective treatments to restore discs to their natural form include spinal decompression and adjustments.  Dr. La Starza is an Chiropractor in Rockledge Florida and does non-invasive treatment for herniated discs and uses the latest technology to effectively provide long-term pain relief and help each patient reach optimal spinal function. The Arthostim is a handheld adjustment instrument that takes the pressure off of the nerves.
