A herniated or bulging disk is a back condition where by the internal gel-like segment of the intervertebral disc has penetrated through the outer part of the disc. The gel-like core of an intervertebral disc is detained together by sheets called the annulus fibrosis. Once the core of the disc has penetrated through the annulus fibrosis, it may cause mechanical pressure on neighboring structures and elicit chemical reactions resulting in low back pain. If the root cause is left untreated, it may develop into a life-altering low back pain condition.

Herniated or bulging discs may be caused by a fierce strain or injury, as well as ongoing movement or stress associated with daily lifting. As we get older the constant wear and tear of the intervertebral disc may also lead to disc herniations. The indications of a herniated or bulging disc will vary depending on the locality of the problem and your body’s response to pain.

Herniated lumbar disc indications have always been complicated to differentiate from other spinal disorders, as well as minor low back pain injuries. Intense low back pain radiating to the buttocks, legs and feet are a familiar symptom of those suffering from a herniated or bulging disc, which may also feel worse by simply coughing or laughing. Tingling or numbness in legs or feet is also a symptom for this low back pain condition. If the disc herniation is not corrected, a mid back pain sufferer may experience muscle weakness or even muscle deterioration as time goes by.

A herniated cervical disc may lead to slight or severe neck pain. neck pain may be classified as slight or intense pain in shoulders, mid to upper arm, chest, forearm, hands and fingers. cervical pain may be increased by simple actions such as turning or bending over, laughing and coughing.

A relatively new low back pain therapy named non-surgical spinal decompression, provides relief of low back pain associated with herniated, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, and sciatica. The theory behind non-surgical back decompression is a course of action whereby forces are applied to the spine in a manner that maximizes spinal elongation.

Non-surgical back decompression using the DRX9000™ involves application of forces logarithmically to elongate the spine without causing the muscles that guard the spine to contract. The technology needed to apply spinal decompressive forces is very sophisticated. The DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System™ utilizes high-speed treatment computers to calculate the logarithmic back decompression treatment curve for each low back pain patient. Recently published clinical research data demonstrates very promising results for low back pain patients suffering with herniated or bulging discs.

While herniated and bulging discs are a familiar low back pain condition in America, low back pain patients today have a new effective, non-surgical alternative with the DRX9000 True Non-surgical Spinal Decompression System™.
