A herniated disc is commonly called a pinched nerve. When there is a misalignment of the spinal vertebrae it causes a portion of the intervertebral disc to protrude between the bones. The discs cushion the vertebrae to prevent them from impacting each other. When an individual suffers from back pain due to this compression, he or she can find relief in the office of a leading Land O Lakes FL Chiropractor.

The intervertebral discs are a soft, gel-like substance contained within a tough fibrous outer shell. Each is like a cushion between two vertebrae. The vertebrae can be moved out of place and as a result they cause a part of a disc to bulge out. This causes back pain that ranges from severe to excruciating.

Working at a desk for eight hours a day can lead to back pain. Your posture in a seated position causes the back to hunch over. Standing and walking posture can add to the problem. It is possible for a herniation to develop as a result.

If someone performs a job that requires twisting, bending or lifting heavy objects, it can lead to a pinched nerve. Any abrupt collision on the football field or in a car accident is another possible cause. Chiropractors are a good source of advice on how to avoid back pain in the future.

Prior to receiving care from the chiropractor, a full evaluation of your condition must be conducted. You will be asked to describe the pain, when it started and what you think caused it. Your spine will be examined and an x-ray taken. When the evaluation is complete, a care plan will be recommended.

Pinched nerves respond well to spinal adjustments when the vertebrae are out of place. The pressure is reduced, and as a result, the pain is alleviated. A series of appointments with the chiropractor will be scheduled to receive them. You can expect your condition to improve over time. It may soon be possible to plan a return to your job and any recreational activities you previously enjoyed.
