Are Herniated Discs The Cause of Your Back Pain?

By Randall Pruitt, DC, DACNB, DAAPM, MUAC, CES-NASM

Many times someone can walk around with a herniated disc and not even realize it. Then there are those that are in debilitating pain that can only be relieved by spinal decompression.

Obtaining an examination, history review, MRI or X-ray studies and undergoing other tests my be helpful in determining if a herniated disc is to blame for your back pain.

Herniated disc treatments in Phoenix and across Arizona are very common, because a herniated disc, also known as a bulging disc, is one of the most common reasons for back pain in the United States.

If you feel you may be suffering from a herniated disc and are in need of treatment in Arizona, it may be difficult for you know for sure. Only an evaluation by a competent doctor can determine if a herniated disc is your problem. However, there are some signs that your pain may be coming from a disc. If certain positions like sitting and bending increase your pain, it could be a bulging disc. If the pain gets worse when you cough or sneeze then a herniated disc is likely the cause.

Looking into a treatment like spinal decompression like other back pain patients in Arizona may be a good idea. The DRX9000 protocol is gaining much more acceptance and is becoming a favorite treatment for many Phoenix Physicians.

Arizona doctors feel these tables can offer relief to some patients previously deemed as difficult to treat. The reason you can't be sure on your own whether or not you have a herniated disc, is that there's no outward sign of the condition.

The lack of outward signs in many cases of back pain lead to the ordering of an MRI. This in turn can show if the disc has a bulge or worse, a herniation. This is the time when spinal decompression in an Arizona Clinic with the DRX9000 would be most beneficial.
