Herniated Disc treatment by Dr. Batson of Willowbrook

10/18/2017

0 Comments

 
Herniated Disc: aka: “Slipped Disc”
A vertebral disc is the cartilaginous material between adjacent spinal vertebrae (spinal bones) and acts as a shock absorbing cushion to facilitate proper biomechanical joint function and reduce friction. The disc also acts as a spacer between adjacent vertebrae to allow the spinal nerve roots to exit the spine and supply nerve energy to various aspects of the body.

A disc can herniate (bulge or rupture) due to injury, repetitive stress, posture and weight gain, aging, and/or a vertebral subluxation. A vertebral subluxation is the partial dislocation of one vertebrae in relation to another causing altered biomechanical joint function which can then cause altered stress to the disc and thus disc degeneration, disc bulge, herniation, or rupture.  

Disc Herniation can be associated with:
  • Neck or Lower Back pain
  • Radicular pain to the upper or lower extremities
  • Arm or leg weakness, tingling, and numbness
  • Headaches
  • Pain ranging from dull to sharp
  • Muscle spasm and stiffness
Dr. Batson treats conditions of disc herniation through proper analysis; very specific chiropractic spinal manipulation techniques (Pierce technique); K-Laser Therapy for reduction of inflammation and pain, and improvement in circulation; Lordex Lumbar Decompression Therapy for rehabilitation of the lumbar disc and surrounding structures; and home exercise.

Dr. Batson utilizes K-Laser Therapy, also known as “Photobiomodulation”, to the elbow region to increase circulation to the region, increase cellular function, reduce inflammation, reduce pain, increase healing, for the restoration of joint and soft tissue function. Chiropractic manipulation can also be applied for further restoration of joint function.

Spinal Stenosis: causing Lower back and Leg Pain
Spinal stenosis is the term used to describe the narrowing of the spinal canal or intervertebral foramen, the openings between the vertebra which allow the spinal nerves to exit the spine. Spinal stenosis can be at any level of the spine but is usually associated with the cervical and lumbar spine. Spinal stenosis is resultant from injury, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, and possible a pathology causing the closing down of the spinal canal and intervertebral openings which can then cause irritation the spinal cord or nerve roots and manifests itself as pain and stiffness. People with lumbar spinal stenosis usually state they cannot stand up straight due to pain but find relief bending forward such as pushing a shopping cart. The position of bending forward further opens the spinal openings taking pressure off the nerves while standing up straight causes closing of the spinal openings and further nerve irritation: Pain!!!
​

Dr. Batson treats patients with spinal stenosis utilizing specific chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy, K-Laser Therapy, Lordex Lumbar Decompression Therapy, and exercise. K-Laser Therapy, also known as “Photobiomodulation”, is used to increase circulation to the lumbar region and spinal nerve roots to reduce inflammation, improve healing, reduce pain and increase normal activities. K-Laser utilizes specific wavelengths of light energy (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects at the cellular levels. Lordex lumbar decompression therapy can also be utilized for decompression of the lumbar disc and spinal nerve roots and rehabilitation of the lumbar disc and lumbar joint structures. Chiropractic spinal and pelvic manipulation is utilized for restoration of spinal and pelvic function for further reduction of pain and soft tissue irritation.
