Relief from Lower Back Pain Caused by Herniated Disc or Sciatica North Farmington, Michigan

When you're suffering from lower back pain and feeling weakness, numbness or tingling in your legs, then your lower back pain may be caused by a herniated disc or sciatica. Then you need to contact Dr. Eric Mintz, DC in North Farmington, Michigan. There, he can help you with your lower back pain through Spinal Decompression.

A herniated disc is caused by a damaged spongy disc in your back. The vertebrae (which are the bones in your back) all connect together to create your spine. In between the vertebrae are small cushions known as spongy discs. When the discs are healthy they act as shock absorbers for your spinal area and keep the spine flexible. When they are unhealthy, there is a possibility that they will begin to bulge outward or even begin to break open, creating a herniated disc. Most herniated disc will occur in the lower back. A few of the causes of a herniated disc are aging and a back injury.

Another condition is Sciatica. Sciatica is not a diagnosis of back pain, but rather a symptom of something else being wrong with your back. We all have a sciatic nerve, and sciatica occurs when there is something that is irritating the roots of the nerves of your back. Some of the causes of sciatica are herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis.

According to the American Chiropractic Association:

- ½ of all Americans who work admit to having back pain symptoms each year
- Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missing work
- Back pain is the second most common reason for visiting the doctor, with upper-respiratory infections outnumbering those with back pain
- Most causes of back pain are not caused by serious conditions
- It is estimated that 80% of the population will feel back pain at some time in their life
