A herniated disc the inner occurs when part of a disc slips into the spinal canal<\/strong> through a rupture in its perimeter. This slipped part either irritates or compresses nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Should the herniated disc compress a nerve root, it can cause severe back pain<\/strong>. This pain can be accompanied by a tingling sensation and will worsen while coughing, moving or sitting for long periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Radiculoneuropathy develops as a result of pressure created by a herniated disc or osteophytes or through the effect of other degenerative changes to the spine affecting nerve roots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The area to where pain spreads is dependant on exactly where the pressure is. Radiculoneuropathy also gives rise to a range of vertebrogenic pain syndromes, all of <\/strong>which are dominated by spinal pain, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most significant cause of herniated disc is gradual wear and tear, weakening, and the strain of everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other factors can contribute as well:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Specific methods of treatment are chosen by the physician based on individual symptoms and cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the acute stage, bedrest is recommended<\/strong> and pain is mitigated through administering analgesics. Muscle relaxants are also administered in order to relax muscles in the affected area of the spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Local injection and corticoids <\/strong>can be administered. The affected area of the spine is temporarily fixed by a neck brace or lumbar support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve a more significant<\/strong> pain-soothing and muscle-relaxing effect, physical therapy <\/strong>is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After treating the acute stage, physiotherapy <\/strong>is immediately initiated in order to help with muscle imbalance (uneven use of muscle groups). Persistent serious cases call for surgical intervention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10305,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/biomag_diagnoza\/28604"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/biomag_diagnoza"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/biomag_diagnoza"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/biomag_diagnoza\/28604\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31759,"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/biomag_diagnoza\/28604\/revisions\/31759"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biomag.co.za\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Herniated disc, nerve compression and radiculoneuropathy treatment \u2013 rid yourself of the pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
