Herniated Disc Therapy
Types of Herniated Disc TherapyThere are 2 main types of herniated disc treatment; those which only offer symptomatic relief and those which lead to a true cure for the underlying condition. Symptomatic back pain treatment is not good medicine, nor proper science. It perpetuates the pain and suffering, keeping patients captive in long term care regimens. The typical treatments used to treat herniated disc pain without curing the actual condition are:* Chiropractic (may rarely be a cure) * Massage * Physical Therapy * Pain Management Drugs Other therapy options might lead to a permanent cure for the pain by correcting the actual anatomical defect: * Back Surgery * Spinal Decompression For full details on all the possible options for finding herniated disc relief, please visit my page titled, BACK PAIN TREATMENTS. Problems with Herniated Disc TherapyMany patients have disc pain that is treatment resistant. It defies all efforts to silence it with any number of chosen therapy options. Unfortunately, this is extremely common and is one of the reasons why herniated discs have such a fearsome reputation. The main reason for this occurrence is a misdiagnosis of the actual cause of pain. Herniated discs may or may not be painful when they first occur, but are rarely responsible for long term chronic back pain conditions. Patients who have unresolved pain syndromes blamed on a herniated disc are usually actually suffering from psychosomatic back pain using ischemia as its weapon. The herniated disc exists, but is an innocent and completely coincidental scapegoat for the pain.Recommendation on Herniated Disc TherapyThe most important factor in deciding on a proper means of treating your herniated discs is an accurate diagnosis. If the disc is not the real cause of the symptoms, then you are wasting your time with any treatment designed to cure physical disc related pain. This is the reason why so many patients fail in their quest for true back pain relief. They bounce from one treatment to another, but continue to hold on to an incorrect diagnosis. If this is your experience, consider the chance that your disc pain is actually being caused by a psychogenic process. If you know for sure that your pain is a direct result of a disc problem, try to find a solution that combines the best of all the possibilities. I highly recommend spinal decompression as a non-surgical, highly effective treatment which might just end your disc pain forever.
