The causes of low back pain are many, but the most common causes are herniated and bulging discs. This situation results when the inner material which has a jelly like consistency begins to break through the weakening outer fibers. As it moves through the outer fibers it can begin to cause pain through chemical irritation secondary to inflammation or through direct pressure on pain sensitive structures. If the discs are not treated the problem can become chronic.
The causes of herniated and bulging discs can vary. They can be caused by natural aging as the fibers of the disc weaken they become more prone to herniate or bulge. Trauma, repetitive motions or stress can also cause a disc to bulge or herniate. Pain distribution can also vary depending on the location of the damage and the structures affected.
The symptoms of a herniated or bulging disc are often difficult to differentiate from other causes of lower back pain. If the pain is intense, radiates into the buttocks, legs and feet a herniated disc is often the cause. These symptoms are even more likely caused from a herniated disc if coughing or sneezing intensifies the pain. Numbness, tingling and muscle weakness in the legs are also commonly associated with spinal disc problems. If not treated quickly muscle weakness and wasting can become permanent.
Disc problems are notorious for causing lower back pain, but neck pain can also be secondary to disc problems as well. Neck pain can be classified as simple mechanical neck pain and only be localized or it can involve the shoulder and arms and even the hands and fingers. Changes in movements or head positions can intensify the pain.
Non-surgical spinal decompression is the latest technology developed to treat herniated and bulging discs. This technology gently created negative pressures inside the disc space to allow the bulging and herniated material to be drawn back into place so that the disc can heal. Spinal decompression has also been successfully used in the treatment of degenerative disc disease and facet syndrome.
Spinal decompression has been an emerging technology and recently the DRX9000 has become the leader in delivering this procedure to patients in need. Reduced intradiscal pressures are achieved by utilizing a patented logarithmic curve as the patients spine is gently distracted. To achieve this a series of highly delicate computers continuously monitor the patients spinal muscles in order to adjust the pull to allow for relaxation. Studies done at some of the most prestigious medical schools and institutions are finding promising results in the application of this technology.
Lower back pain secondary to herniated and bulging discs is quite common in the United States and a difficult medical problem to treat. However, with new technology like the DRX9000 Non-surgical spinal decompression system there is now a viable alternative to surgery and other invasive procedures.
