A Fremont herniated disc specialist, Dr. Daniel Klein can often help you to live free of the pain caused by a herniated disc.

Your spine has several purposes. It gives support that is necessary for your muscles to do their job in holding up your head and your torso. In addition, there is a channel through the vertebrae that allows the spinal cord to pass through. The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury that could cause paralysis.

You may not have any back problems for many years and then suddenly they hit. They could be caused by an accident or by the aging process.

Herniated discs are among the most common of spinal problems. The vertebrae are very hard bone and resistant to breaking, but the soft cushions of the vertebrae are subject to damage. If a herniated disc continues to expand, it may eventually apply pressure to a nerve. This pressure can cause pain in the back along with the extremities.

That little herniated disc may cause the back to have excruciating pain that can extend into the hips or legs as well as the shoulders, neck and arm. The actual location of the herniated disc determines the direction of the radiating pain. For example, herniated discs in the mid back region can make it painful for the sufferer to breathe. Every breath causes pain.

By use of spinal adjustments, the doctor of chiropractic can allow a vertebrae to return to its before injury shape. This care causes blood to bring healing nutrients back to the disc and allows the disc to reabsorb fluid that has been lost in the injury.

Once you are free from the pain, you may want to continue to see the doctor regularly to continue pain free living. Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care.
