Disc herniation is becoming more and more a disease present in our country. This, but also lumbar pain, sciatica, spondylosis, are some of the diseases that can be cured by manual therapy, a treatment method that aims to eliminate functional muscle blockages, contributing to nervous release reducing pain.
Back pain is the most common pathology in our country, is most often caused by a wrong posture or even age. More than 80% of people are affected by such low back pain, as reported by the World Health Organization itself. Untreated in time, low back pain can worsen and lead to more complex problems, such as lobe discopathy or even a herniated disc, a serious condition that can send you to the doctor immediately.
Lumbar discopathy is manifested by localized pain in the back, is caused by certain changes in the intervertebral level. This usually occurs due to a wrong position or due to daily office activities. Pressure is applied to the intervertebral discs by sitting on the chair, and thus the pain appears. If not treated in time, this condition can turn into a herniated disc, much more painful.
The herniated disc is manifested by pain, is determined by the penetration of the nucleus pulposus and the fibrous ring in the spinal canal area. In this way, pressure appears at the level of the nerve roots, and thus the pain is felt quite strongly both at the level of the back and at the level of the lower limbs. It is often manifested by tingling or numbness in the legs.
A herniated disc occurs mainly due to a sedentary lifestyle and a wrong body posture, obesity, much too demanding physical effort, or failure to treat milder conditions.
Disc herniation treated with manual therapy saves you from surgery
Those who suffer from a herniated disc could get rid of the surgery if they resort to manual therapy, a variant of safe healing, using biomechanical techniques performed with the hands’ help. Manual therapy is a good healing method, but also a true art, inherited from long ago, since the time of our ancestors, when they used massage to get rid of back pain.
Manual therapy is performed in a safe working environment by specialists; their role is to identify and eliminate blockages, speed healing, and relieve the patient of pain. Although manual therapy is similar to a regular massage, in reality, it acts on the parts identified as suffering from blockages, and thus the entire force of the therapist is directed towards that area.
Manual therapy can treat disc herniation without the need for surgery to get the best results. On the one hand, it acts to cure the disease, and on the other hand, the functions of other internal organs will sometimes be recovered, which is beneficial for the body, preventing other types of diseases.
