Bulging Disc Smithtown, Long Island at Advanced Back Solutions

Bulging Disc Smithtown, Long Island

Over time, the lumbar discs in the spine can degenerate and bulge. A bulging disc can be best described as a balloon that may pop at any moment. When the bulging disc does "pop", it becomes herniated into a gelatinous substance, and is referred to as a herniated disc. Both of these conditions have the ability to cause tremendous pain. Often, this pain will not go away on its own, so it is important to seek medical attention as soon as your symptoms arise. Dr. Kathryn Crews and Dr. Daniel Crews of Advanced Back Solutions located in Smithtown, Long Island has the tools and knowledge to help treat such conditions.

The weak spot in a disc is directly under the nerve root, and can put direct pressure on the nerve. When this happens, pain can radiate to as far down as the patient's leg or even foot. If you suffer from a bulging disc, you may be a candidate for decompression therapy aided with the state-of-the-art ExtenTrac Elite®.
