Comparing Conservative Treatment Options for
Cervical and Lumbar Disc Herniation

Conservative treatment for cervical and lumbar disc herniation

 

Cervical and lumbar disc herniation are common causes of chronic neck and back pain. While surgery is sometimes required, conservative treatment can often provide effective relief. At Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center in Santa Monica, we offer a non-invasive approach, including spinal decompression, physiotherapy, and other personalized therapies to address herniated discs.

Cervical vs. Lumbar Disc Herniation

Cervical disc herniation occurs in the neck and may cause pain radiating down the arms, headaches, and even dizziness.
On the other hand, lumbar disc herniation often leads to sciatica, stiffness, and leg weakness due to the location in the lower back.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options:

Spinal stenosis treatment

  1. Spinal Decompression Therapy
    Using the DRX 9000, we relieve pressure on herniated discs by gently stretching the spine.
    This reduces nerve compression and helps draw the disc back into place, relieving cervical and lumbar disc herniation.
  2. Physiotherapy for Long-Term Results
    • Neuromuscular Reeducation: Retrains muscles and nerves to prevent movements that may aggravate disc issues.
    • Massage Therapy & Myofascial Release: Reduces muscle tension and inflammation, promoting faster recovery.
    • Core Strengthening: Builds spinal stability, especially for lumbar herniation, to prevent future injuries.
  3. Manual Manipulations
    Gentle chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, relieving nerve pressure and restoring proper function. This is beneficial for both cervical and lumbar herniations.

Benefits of Conservative treatment for cervical and lumbar disc herniation

  • Avoid Surgery: Reduces the risks associated with invasive procedures.
  • Long-Term Relief: Addresses the root cause, promoting healing rather than masking symptoms.
  • Faster Recovery: You can return to your normal activities sooner than surgery.
