Managing Disc Pain in Sauk City, WI

Q: What are the Reasons for Disc Slippage Occurring?

Prolapsed Disc — This means the disc is bulging out between the vertebrae, but the disc’s outermost layer is still intact. Extruding Disc – This means there is a tear in the outer layer of the spinal disc, which is causing the spinal disc tissue to leak out. But the tissue that has come out remains connected to the disc. Sequestration – This is the most serious type of slipped disc. In this instance, the spinal disc tissue has entered into the spinal canal and is no longer directly attached to the disc.

If you repeatedly experience recurring lower back pain or if the pain radiates down your leg and reaches your foot, it might be a sign of a slipped disc.

A slipped disc, also referred to as a herniated disc, can cause severe and occasionally disabling pain.

Pain Due to Herniated Discs

Experiencing a slipped disc can be quite uncomfortable. However, it’s worth noting that in around 90% of herniated disc cases, symptoms often improve within six weeks or even less.

Nevertheless, if you continue to experience disc pain beyond this period, or if it keeps recurring over the course of months or even years, it is possible that it may not resolve on its own. At this point, it is advisable to explore alternative treatment options, such as the use of gentle and non-surgical spinal decompression treatment.

What are the Reasons for Disc Slippage Occurring?

The backbone is made up of a series of bones called vertebrae. Each vertebrae has a front portion called the vertebral body. Situated between each vertebrae are pliable spinal discs, which have a tough, layered covering and a gel-like center called the nucleus pulposus. These discs play a crucial role in enabling the spine to be flexible, allowing us to bend forward and rotate our upper body.

Additionally, the discs serve to absorb any jolts or impacts that are transmitted to the spine during activities such as running or jumping.

When you have a slipped disc, it means that one of the spinal discs is bulging beyond the edges of the vertebral bodies that are above and below it. There are three types of slipped discs:

Prolapsed Disc — This means the disc is bulging out between the vertebrae, but the disc’s outermost layer is still intact.
Extruding Disc – This means there is a tear in the outer layer of the spinal disc, which is causing the spinal disc tissue to leak out. But the tissue that has come out remains connected to the disc.
Sequestration – This is the most serious type of slipped disc. In this instance, the spinal disc tissue has entered into the spinal canal and is no longer directly attached to the disc.

Although all three types of herniated discs can cause significant pain, individuals with a slipped disc can often find relief through non-surgical spinal decompression treatment.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Dr Don after over a decade of pain. Over the last 5 years my cervical spine became so bad that I had given up doing everything that I loved.... I began decompression treatments and felt the difference immediately! I've begun doing what I've given up, and I'm off 2 of 3 meds, currently weaning off of the last one! I didnt think this was possible! I highly recommend!

Dr Don has helped my husband in a myriad of ways in the 2 years he’s been seeing him from basic adjustments to sensory and movement on his right side which was completely paralyzed to health and nutrition. I highly recommend Dr Don!
