At The Spine & Rehab Group our spine specialists are experts in diagnosing and relieving herniated disc pain. Accurate diagnosis is vital in appropriately treating your pain. The doctors at The Spine & Rehab Group utilize in-office diagnostics to diagnose the cause of your pain.
During a consultation, your doctor will go over your medical history, perform a physical exam and may order an x-ray in the office to confirm the cause of your pain. An MRI or CT scan may also be recommended prior to beginning a course of treatment.
Herniated discs are often caused by disc degeneration, or weakening of the spinal discs. This can occur gradually over a long period of time due to normal wear and tear and aging. Traumatic injuries such as a fall or strain, sports injuries and overuse can also cause a disc herniation.
Symptoms of a herniated disc vary depending on the location of the disc herniation in the spine. Patients with a herniated lumbar disc (herniated disc in the lower back) commonly include symptoms that affect the lower back, buttocks, hips and legs.
