The causes of low back pain are many, but the most common causes are herniated and bulging discs. This situation results when the inner material which has a jelly like consistency begins to break through the weakening outer fibers. As it moves through the outer fibers it can begin to cause pain through chemical irritation secondary to inflammation or through direct pressure on pain sensitive structures. If the discs are not treated the problem can become chronic.
Traumatic accidents, repetitive stress, or motions can cause herniated or bulging discs. Natural aging can also cause gradual breakdown of the disc fibers, making them more prone to herniating or bulging. Depending on the location of the damage the pain from these injuries can vary greatly.
When diagnosing a herniated or bulging disc the symptoms may not provide accurate clues. However, if the pain is significant and symptoms radiate into the leg and down into the foot then a herniated or bulging disc is most likely the culprit. If coughing, sneezing or laughing increases the symptoms down the leg then a herniated disc diagnosis becomes more clear. Weakness of the leg muscles, tingling or numbness can also point to the likelihood of a herniated or bulging disc. Getting the proper treatment is even more important in these situations because any delay could result in permanent damage.
Even though herniated or bulging discs in the low back are more common, a herniated or bulging disc in the neck may also cause pain. Neck pain can range from simple mechanical neck pain to pain into the shoulders, down the arms and into the hands and fingers. Neck pain can be intensified by certain movements or head positions as well.
A new alternative to more invasive procedures, is non-surgical spinal decompression. Spinal decompression provides a real answer to the pain caused by herniated and bulging discs. It is also indicated in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and facet syndrome. The mechanism behind decompression is the use of a patented computer system that creates a negative pressure within the disc space. This negative pressure draws the bulging or herniated material back into place so the disc can heal.
Non-surgical spinal decompression utilizing the DRX9000 creates the negative pressures by utilizing a logarithmic pulling mechanism. This specific curve bypasses the typical guarding mechanism that is common with the spinal muscles. The technology necessary to apply spinal decompressive forces is patented and The DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System utilizes high-speed treatment computers to calculate the logarithmic spinal decompression treatment curve for each patient. Recently published clinical research data demonstrates very promising results for patients suffering with herniated or bulging discs.
Lower back pain secondary to herniated and bulging discs is quite common in the United States and a difficult medical problem to treat. However, with new technology like the DRX9000 Non-surgical spinal decompression system there is now a viable alternative to surgery and other invasive procedures.
