Etheredge Chiropractic has more than 30 years experience treating herniated discs as a chiropractor in Fruitland Park, Leesburg and The Villages.
The intervertebral disc is cartilage found between each of the spinal vertebrae and its function is to absorb shock and keep the spine flexible. This condition occurs when the soft gel-like substance found in the center of the disc, leaks into the spinal canal and compresses on the nerves. This can cause immense pressure and pinch the surrounding nerves that leads to a high-level of discomfort.
Common causes include:
- Wear and tear over time
- Repetitive motion/movements in lifestyle, work and some sports activities
- Improper lifting
- Injury or trauma
- Obesity
Symptoms include:
- Dull ache to severe pain in spinal area
- Tingling, numbness or burning in extremities
- Muscle weakness or spasm in extremities
