Heal Painful Spinal Disc Problems With Shockwave Therapy
Your spine isn’t just comprised of vertebrae (bones). It also has intervertebral discs, which act as cushions for the bones. The discs have a tough exterior and a softer interior. They play an important role in the function of your spine. Various health conditions that can affect the discs, such as a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease, can cause pain and decreased mobility.
At Preferred Family Chiropractic, Dr. Williams offers a variety of treatment options for patients with bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and other disc-related health conditions in Clermont, Four Corners, and Citrus Ridge, FL. Shockwave therapy can be particularly helpful in reducing pain and restoring function.
How Does Shockwave Therapy Help Damaged Discs?
Whether you have a bulging disc or degenerative disc disease, shockwave therapy may be an appropriate treatment option for you. It works by targeting the treatment area with sound waves. These sound waves break up areas of calcification, allowing for better blood flow to the damaged discs. Enhanced blood flow is significant because the discs have no internal blood supply of their own. Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to the discs, supporting their ability to heal.
In addition, shockwave therapy can:
- Reduce inflammation and disrupt pain signals
- Restore range of motion and mobility
- Help you reduce your need for pain medications
- Potentially delay or avoid the need for surgery
