Intervertebral discs (AKA: “shock-absorbers” of the spine) are the cartilage cushions located between the vertebrae (bones) of the spine. Discs can become inflamed, irritated, bulged, and even ruptured if the spine undergoes even the most trivial of traumas. The most common signs that a person might be suffering from a disc problem are numbness and tingling through their arms and legs, which are often accompanied by sharp, shooting pains. Discs that are bulging or pinching on a nerve that is exiting the spinal column can be a very serious condition directly linked to subluxations (spinal misalignment). Often diagnostic imaging in the form of x-rays and MRI’s are needed to properly diagnosis a disc problem condition.
If you are continually suffering from a herniated or bulging disc, there are steps that you can take, depending on your condition. Once the pain begins, your first priority should be to schedule an evaluation with a Jupiter doctor who understands herniated discs. At Jupiter Disc Center in Jupiter, we treat many conditions, and there is no reason for your pain to continue after being treated regularly. Our non-invasive approach to pain relief and injury recovery has proved to have very successful results.
We understand how difficult it can be to move around when you have a herniated disc. In fact, you might need to stay in bed for the first few days, so you don’t cause any more damage to your back. However, moving is part of the recovery process. Exercise is also a huge part of the recovery, but DO NOT begin exercising or stretching until you have been cleared to do so by your physician. Although Spinal Decompression Therapy can relieve your pain, if you are overexerting yourself, this treatment may have a negative effect on your condition. Call (561) 250-8050 now to schedule your examination consultation at Jupiter Disc Center today.
The pain was excruciating the week of my birthday, what a horrible way to bring in my birthday. The disc was bulging hitting the nerve as well as the spine. Dr Joe assured me I will be well and it was absolutely true! I returned back to after 3 weeks of decompression and other high tech instruments. They are the best and I recommend you to receive a consultation today do not hesistate! I am in recovery and doing Great
I have been a patient now since May.. started out with horrible cervical neck pain, severe lower back pain, unable to walk without pain and very limited ROM.. I am an ICU RN and the patient care over the last year and an half really took it's toll on me physically.. Happily I took a friend's recommendation and came to APMR for treatment.. No surprise I had bulging and herniated discs ( plural) in my cervical spine and lumbar spine causing my pain and limited physicality.. The specialized decompression treatment that I received along with the other treatment modalities that Dr Joe and his wonderful amazing team curated individually for me not only healed me but has returned me to being able to take CrossFit classes and go for runs which I had dearly missed doing.. this has not only helped me physically but also mentally which I cannot express how important that component is to well being. I am now on their weight loss program and have safely shed 20 lbs in one month without starvation and am able to maintain my exercise routine. I am beyond happy and am very very grateful for the excellent care that I've received here at APMR.. I will be a client for life. God Bless
I've been having treatment for about four weeks. I was doing treatment for back pain with another Chiropractor and my pain wasn't getting better. I saw the add on Instagram for Dr. Joseph on laser treatment for back pain and I made an appointment. At that point I was desperately feeling hopeless because of the pain, couldn't sleep well and could barely train. Here I am four weeks later, finally sleeping all night and back to training, still can't lift heavy but I can say I'm already 40% better and not taking pain medication. I am so thankful to Dr. Joe and all his loving stuff, everyone is very professional and you can feel the passion they have for their work. This place is truly amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone that has any type of injury.
