I've had a herniated disc for a few years now the pain hasnt subsided, need help deciding on treatments? I went in for an MRI this morning for a possible Herniated Disc. I've also researched possible treatments whether be surgical or non surgical. If anyone has some suggestions, advise or even a couple words maybe youve had it before maybe your a doctor please tell me how i can go about making a treatment decision
admin answers: Well depending on where the disc is herniated at, i can give you a few options. I personally have had L3,L4,L5, and S1 and i am 29 years old. My doctor didn't want to do surgery on me because he didn't want to do another surgery on me for 10 years down the road. I can personally tell you i have had numerous cortisone shots, nerve blocks, and have been so high on pain management drugs i couldn't focus straight. Before i had my surgery i could barley move and walking up steps was horrible and had me in tears. I had L4 -S1 discs removed and some space freed up, it was the best thing i could have ever done. I wake up pain free every morning, and love every minute of it. I no longer take narcotics for pain or even inflammatory's. Good luck with your treatments and i hope i have helped you out.

admin answers: My mother in law has herniated discs as well. She has found much relief from her inversion table and she just started myofacial release. After 8 yrs of pain, she says that it is helping her greatly. She also has found relief with muscle balance therapy. Herniated discs are complicated and people who have found the most relief, usually take a multi treatment approach to their pain, or a combination approach. The underlying cause of the herniated disc needs to be addressed. Why did your disc herniate in the first place? Barring trauma, muscle imbalances in the body are the second leading cause of back pain. Chances are, you have never heard of muscle imbalances and worse you don't even know that

your own muscles are out of balance. But the reality is that everyone has muscle imbalances to some degree - regardless of age, sex, or level of fitness. No one is perfect. And even if you did manage to achieve perfection, you could not stay there for long. In simple terms, a muscle imbalance occurs when you have overdeveloped and tight muscles in one area of your body while the opposing muscles are weak and stretched out of their normal position. These imbalances can happen anywhere on the body and often develop as the result of the routine things you do while on the job, playing sports, or engaging in other activities you enjoy. As your muscles get more and more out of balance, you end up pulling your self out of proper alignment thus producing uneven more stress and causing additional wear and tear on muscles, ligaments, joints, and even the spine. Almost all of us live our lives with chronic unrecognized muscular imbalances and while it does take time for muscle imbalances to cause a symptomatic condition the first signs of trouble are evident on our bodies in the form of "postural dysfunctions". Postural dysfunction can be seen in the abnormal position on the pelvis, head, neck, shoulder and even in the curvature of the spine. Once a postural dysfunction has developed, your body cannot go on for long this way before you will begin to experience problems. That is why you should never just cover up the pain or put off addressing your condition. In other words, if you are in your 40s, don't wait until you're 60's to decide you have a problem. Try this analogy: If you drive your car with the wheels out of alignment, the tread on your tires is going to wear unevenly. If you don't get an alignment, eventually you're going to have a blowout. The same principle holds true for your back and other areas of your body. So now what do you do to address your muscle imbalances? You can perform a self assessment at losethebackpain.com, find out which muscle imbalances you have, then start on a treatment program of specific, targeted exercises and stretches which will get your body and muscles back into its proper alignment. To view some great free videos on some stretches you can perform to help alleviate some of the pain, and to find out more about muscle imbalances you can go to: http://www.losethebackpain.com/treatments/musclebalancetherapy.html

Treatment or stretches for Herniated Disc in Thoracic Spine, back? Anyone know any good home treatment or stretches for a herniated disc in the thoracic spine? Mine is in between then T5 T6. I have had pain for about 2 years but just had an MRI last week and found out I have a herniated disc. I would like to stay away from surgery or physical therapy where I have to pay and would like to try home remedies first. Any info you give will help. Thanks.
admin answers: I had compressed discs between T6 and T7. Although that was from a care accident. But the pain was bad and nobody could do anything for it. Spent 30 years going to p.t, chiropractors and even did acupuncture, all with little relief to it at all. I came across some muscles releasing techniques and found that the pain is caused by the muscles being pinched, not the back itself and that problems with the discs, other than mine, were caused by the same pinched muscles, that they would pull the vertebrae so tight that they would create the problem with the disc, herniating it or slipping it. Once the back muscles are released those pressures are off the vertebrae and they go back to where they belong and the pain is also gone. I was surprised at what a differnece it made on my back and I now do things I had been told not to do because of the pain but it never comes back any more. Here is what I did to my back to get rid of those pains: Back: (do from a sitting position) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
