Herniated disk is actually quite a common condition, whther here on Staten Island, in New York City, or elsewhere.

That Herniated Disk, or bulging disk, or protruding disk, or 'Slipped disk', may be the result of an acute traumatic injury, or bad posture/ movement patterns over time.

Disk Herniation may be caused by an injury caused by a Workers Compensation accident, or an Automobile Accident.

In Disk Herniation , at least part of the problem is  Inflammation .  If we can bring Inflammation down, we can bring down pain and dysfunction, and restore proper function with less pain.

Anti-inflammatory nutrition can be helpful with MANY musculo-skeletal injuries and complaints.  One of MANY suggestions I make to patients suffering with the herniated disk, bulged disc, protruding disc, etc- is

Lower  Back  Pain  (LBP):  

Low  Back  Pain  can be caused by many different things.

 

 Big, BAD, catastrophic things like a tumor or a cancer can cause low back pain

(only a proper exam by a licensed doctor, like your Doctor of Chiropractic,

or your family Doctor of Medicine, can evaluate your signs and symptoms,

and perhaps refer for testing). 

 

Big, bad things like a Herniated Disc, sciatica, possible fracture or dislocation

 can cause LBP (again, best evaluated by your DC or MD, and perhaps referral).

 

 Bad things, like  - Sprains, Strains, contusion, or Vertebral Subluxation Complex

 (all very efficiently diagnosed and treated by your Doctor Of Chiropractic). 

 

LBP can come from a motor vehicle accident, sport injury, slip, trip, fall, arthritis,

 lifting improperly, or even bad posture in standing, sitting or sleeping. 

All of these things often have a Lumbar (Low Back) Vertebral Subluxation involved.
