DR. BATSON TREATING DISC HERNIATION AND ASSOCIATED PAIN AND SPINE DYSFUNCTION

2/5/2023

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 via the vertebral foramen 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 vertebra 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 of nutrients for acceleration of healing; Lordex Lumbar Decompression Therapy for rehabilitation of the lumbar disc and surrounding structures for decompression of the spine and/or spinal nerve roots; and home exercise.
Dr. Batson is a 1988 Palmer College of Chiropractic Graduate, practicing in a solo practice for over thirty four years. Dr. Batson utilizes the PIERCE RESULTS SYSTEM of spinal analysis and treatment consisting of utilizing Examination, X-ray analysis with Video-Fluoroscopy (motion X-Ray imaging), very specific chiropractic manipulation techniques (No Twisting, Snapping, or Popping),  Lordex Lumbar Decompression Therapy, and the K-Laser therapy. Dr. Batson treats patients of Willowbrook and the surrounding communities of Darien, Burr Ridge, Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Oakbrook, Claredon Hills, Western Springs, Lemont, Westmont, and communities of the Tri-State regions.
Dr. Batson is available for consultation and/or treatment at Batson Chiropractic Clinic
