Comprehensive Care for Herniated Discs

At NovaSpine Pain Institute, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of herniated discs, helping you manage pain and regain your quality of life. Our dedicated team of interventional pain management specialists is committed to providing personalized care tailored to your specific needs.

Understanding Herniated Discs

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of an intervertebral disc protrudes through the tougher outer layer, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. This condition can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Pain: Often localized in the back or neck, with possible radiating pain into the arms or legs.
  • Numbness or Tingling: Sensations may be felt in the areas served by the affected nerves.
  • Weakness: Muscle weakness in the limbs, impacting coordination and strength.

Common causes of herniated discs include:

  • Genetics: Family history may increase susceptibility to disc problems.
  • Age: Natural wear and tear on the spine as we age.
  • Injury: Trauma or heavy lifting can lead to disc herniation.
Our Approach to Treatment

At NovaSpine, we take a comprehensive approach to managing herniated discs. Our treatment options may include:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We start with a thorough assessment, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging (such as MRI or CT scans) to accurately diagnose your condition.

2. Pain Management Techniques: To alleviate pain, we offer a variety of options:

  • Epidural Steroid Injections: Targeting the affected area to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
  • Nerve Blocks: Interrupting pain signals from specific nerves for significant relief.

3. Physical Therapy: Our rehabilitation specialists will create a customized exercise program to strengthen the back and core, improve flexibility, and promote healing.

4. Medications: We may prescribe anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or nerve pain medications to help manage your symptoms effectively.

5. Lifestyle Modifications: Our team will provide guidance on ergonomics, posture, and activity modifications to help prevent further injury and promote spinal health.

6. Surgical Options: In cases where conservative treatments do not provide adequate relief, we may discuss surgical interventions such as discectomy or spinal fusion to address the herniated disc.
