Herniated Disc Pain Relief in Houston Area
Between each vertebrae of the spine sits a disc made of soft tissue and cartilage. This disc has a hard outer layer and a soft jelly-like substance on the inside (you may have heard medical professionals describe the disc as being like a jelly doughnut). This disc acts a shock absorber, protecting and cushioning the vertebrae to ensure easy and painless movement of the spine.
A herniated disc occurs when the outer layer of this disc ruptures and the jelly-like substance inside escapes or bulges out. This condition can cause intense muscle and back pain in the area of the herniation, as weakening of the disc can put pressure on the surrounding vertebrae and spinal nerves. This can also trigger other pain symptoms in the body like sciatica.
A herniated disc is a serious condition that can cause chronic back pain if not treated properly. If you are experiencing back pain and think it may be from a herniated disc you should pay a visit to your doctor right away. If you’re looking for herniated disc pain relief products, drop by any Relax The Back store in the Houston area. Our wide selection of specialty back products can help you better manage your herniated disc pain. You can even get tailored advice regarding back care and herniated disc pain management from our in-store back care product consultants when you drop by.
An effective method for the treatment of herniated disc is ensuring a neutral spine for as much of your day as possible. Americans spend the majority of their day sleeping, working and commuting (about 18 hours or 75% of their day), so ensuring that you maintain a neutral spine during that time will significantly help relieve herniated disc pain. There are a number of support products, like seat cushions for your car and office chair, back supports, ergonomic chairs and Tempur-Pedic mattresses, that can help ensure a neutral spine. Come into any Relax The Back store in the Houston area to browse our large range of lumbar support products for your herniated disc. A pain-free life is possible with the right support.
