A Herniated Spinal Disc is such an unbearable form of back pain that only a good comedy show, like "Friends" could make it into something laughable. When Joey had his hernia, he was in such anguish; the jokes about his situation were way funnier because of our heightened sympathy towards him. Joey, of course, was not real. When we, or our loved ones are the ones going through the distress, laughter may lighten the situation, but it is not the right fix. Treatment is the right cure.
What Is Herniated Spinal Disc And Its Treatment Options?
A Herniated Spinal Disc happens when two vertebrae in the spine exert pressure on the cushiony disc that separates them. The effect is that the liquid center of the disc comes out. It hits nerves and it causes a lot of pain, which can radiate all the way to the other parts of the body. One might, as Dr. Luis Crespo MD says on the US Spine Care website, compare a herniated disc to the oozing jelly in a donut. But, I prefer to keep my appetite.
Ultimately, (and before another painful night) a herniated back needs to be dealt with quickly because living with back pain is not acceptable. It's just unbearable! However, for some, the treatment measures seem just as awful. The "S" word is especially frightening. Patients who go in for open back surgery take a long time to recover. So why not treat back pain with a soothing and much less painful treatment instead of a treatment that makes the pain worse before it gets better?
How Can Spinal Decompression Relieve Back Pain?
Spinal Decompression helps treat Cervical Herniated Discs in the neck, and Lumbar Herniated Discs in the lower back. In each treatment, the Spinal Decompression Machine pulls lightly on a very specific part of the spine, separating the two vertebrae and relieves the pressure on the disc. This separation gives more space for the bulge to slowly repair itself with every treatment.
I think it's a relief whenever fighting pain with more pain can be avoided. If a single surgery has a long and painful recovery period, using the same amount of time for a painless treatment might be a welcomed option. Spinal Decompression has cured thousands of back pain woes, and more people can benefit greatly from this treatment. Don't be like Joey and tough it out. Instead, make treatment something to look forward to. Why not make it more bearable.
