What does it mean when you have a herniated or bulging disc in your back? Good news if you live in Darien or New Canaan

A herniated disc often referred to as a bulging disc is a condition that indicates a problem with a rubbery disc between the spinal bones. The disc is made from cartilage and acts as a shock absorber that allows the spinal vertebra to move dynamically with mechanical efficiency. This condition occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. This causes the disc to put pressure on the spinal cord and the nerve roots that exit the spine at the intervertebral foramen. The lower back pain a herniated disc causes can be severe and debilitating.

Golfer's often start to develop painful symptoms in the lateral portion of their elbow. This painful condition causes inflammation of the tendons that cross the elbow. The tendons are dense muscle fibers and are encased in a connective tissue called fascia. The fascia is the nerve rich connective tissue between muscles and bones. When extra stress is put onto the muscle tendons there is extra stress placed on the fascia as well causing its shape to be distorted. The distorted tendon tissue becomes gritty and causes increased friction. The increased friction causes more pain and inflammation as the athlete uses the involved muscles repetitively. Core Health Darien can have you back on the golf course in no time. We have started to use shockwave therapy as well as Graston to speed up the healing process for our patients with medial epicondylitis aka Golfer's Elbow.

Relief for Chronic Sciatic Nerve Pain

What is the main cause of sciatica?

It's usually caused when a herniated disk or bone spur in the spine presses on the L5/SI nerve root. This can be quite a painful event. Often when the patient moves there is increased pressure onto the thick sciatic nerve. The nerve forms from the spine at the L5/S1 levels and can be trapped by the piriformis muscle. The sciatic nerve passes thru the sciatic notch.

Pain originates in the spine and radiates down the back of the leg. Sciatica typically affects only one side of the body. Chronic hip subluxations can put added pressure onto the sciatic nerve. A stable base is indicated to properly support the spine. The pelvis is foundational in its support of the axial skeleton.

Chiropractors can help people with sciatic nerve pain by reducing subluxations and restoring the pelvis to its proper position.
