Disc Herniation & Pain

Disc Pain & Herniation
A herniated disc can be very painful and disruptive, affecting all aspects of your life, from typing, to driving, to walking. Spinal discs are cushions located between each spinal vertebrae. As you get older, these discs become more rigid and injury prone. When the disc ruptures, a portion of it bulges out and it becomes a herniated disc. Disc herniation causes the spinal cord and nerves to become pinched, causing discomfort and pain.

Disc herniation can be caused by:

Falls
Sudden stress or heavy strain on the lower back
Repetitive motion (and poor lifting habits)
Sports-related injuries
Disc degeneration (wear and tear of the disc)

Disc herniation symptoms include:

Sudden leg pain
Shooting pain when sneezing, coughing or straining your back
Pain that intensifies when standing for a prolonged amount of time or with bending or twisting movements
Tingling or numbness in one leg
Thigh pain
Muscle weakness in one or both legs
Deep muscle pain
Muscle spasms
Intermittent pain in one leg
Bowel and bladder problems (this is indicative of cauda equina syndrome, a medical emergency – you should go to the hospital right away)

What should I wear to acupuncture sessions?

You will want to be as comfortable as possible during treatments. It’s important that the acupuncturist is able to access various points of the body. Wearing loose clothing is helpful and allows your acupuncturist to easily administer treatment. Either wear comfortable clothing or bring a change of clothing with you to make treatments as comfortable as possible.

“Acupuncture can actually help to relieve stress and has the ability to provide patients with an alternative and natural method for treatment.”

Will I be able to relax during treatments?

Acupuncturists can provide you with a relaxed setting to receive acupuncture treatments. Often, they may lower the lights, turn on a sound machine and even a heat lamp. Acupuncture can actually help to relieve stress. Because of this, many people may find that once needles are placed they are able to fully relax and may even fall asleep.
