Herniated Disc Downtown Manhattan at New York Integrative Medical and Rehab Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Center

Herniated Disc Downtown Manhattan

Are you suffering from nagging back pain? Herniated disc, or spinal disc herniation, is a medical condition affecting the spine where a tear in the outer, fibrous ring allows the soft, central ring to bulge out. A tear in the disc ring may result due to inflammatory chemical mediators causing severe pain. Take action and help alleviate this pain by visiting Dr. Steven Shoshany, DC at New York Integrative Medical and Rehab. Located in Downtown Manhattan near the B, D, F, V, N, R, W, and 6 trains, the Center offers advanced and specialized chiropractic techniques to help identify and eliminate your pain.  For more information on how we can effectively treat herniated and bulging discs without surgery, check out our latest blog post.

Disc herniation can occur in any disc in the spine: the two most common forms are the cervical disc herniation and the lumbar disc herniation. The lumbar herniation is the most common cause of lower back pain and often leg pain as well, known as sciatica. Many herniated discs occur when a person is 30 or 40, but after age 50 or 60, osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis are more likely causes of low back pain.

Treatments offered by New York Integrated include:

- Physical therapy
- Osteopathic/chiropractic manipulations.
- Massage therapy
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Oral steroids
- Epidural (cortisone) injection from a Pain Management doctor
