Symptoms of a Herniated Disc
Symptoms of a Herniated Disc
Did you know you can have a herniated disc without knowing it? Herniated discs can be painful. Most herniated discs occur in your lower back (lumbar spine), although they can also occur in your neck (cervical spine).
Arm or leg pain. If your herniated disk is in your lower back, you’ll typically feel the most intense pain in your buttocks, thigh and calf. It may also involve part of the foot. If your herniated disk is in your neck, the pain will typically be most intense in the shoulder and arm. This pain may shoot into your arm or leg when you cough, sneeze or move your spine into certain positions.
Numbness or tingling. People who have a herniated disk often experience numbness or tingling in the body part served by the affected nerves.
Weakness. Muscles served by the affected nerves tend to weaken. This may cause you to stumble, or impair your ability to lift or hold items.
What to Expect in the First Appointment?
The first appointment with our chiropractors begins with a thorough assessment of your general health. Then our practitioners will examine your injury/pain and conduct any test as needed. Once the assessment is completed, we will work with you in a treatment plan that is personalized to your current needs and towards preventing future problems we may perceive.
