Disc Decompression for herniated discs, how efective is it? ?
I have 3 herniated discs, L3, L4 and L5 and have quite a bit of pain. Last year I had a steroid epidural shot and it gave me good results for about a year. I hate needles and don’t want to go through that again, and somebody mentioned the disc decompression and mentioned a chiropractic clinic called Mass.Ave…Can anybody give me any feedback/insight regarding this type of treatment, since I have not had positive experiences before with chiropractors, making me spend time and money, unfortunately with no results (no offense to any Chiropractors out there please, this was just my personal experience!)
Thanks!
Before you consider surgery for disc decompression, do have a look at this site.

It might be an alternative to spine surgery…It is something to think about so do make some honest search for ‘bioflex low-level laser therapy’.
I also need decompression on my L4 & L5 but before I consider having surgery on my lower back, I am seriously considering going through low-level laser. It is absolutely painless, non-toxic and non-invasive.
I also have a slipped disc on my lower back…If they can releive the pressure around my L4 & L5 with low-level laser, I will be with a lot less pain, that I am convince.
Don’t just take my word for it, make a search.
Be healthy.

Hi ,,,i am 23 yrs old,,and have a herniated disc at l4/l5 and l5/s1 since last 2 yrs?
Hi ,,,i am 23 yrs old,,and have a herniated disc at l4/l5 and l5/s1 since last 2 yrs.?
pain was alright but i got a weird feeling that my right leg is longer than the other which makes my body structure bit tilted,,,is it becoz of my herniated disc…any suggestions for any exercise or something…
I’ve herniated L5/S1. The pain in your leg is the result of sciatica. The ruptured disc presses against a nerve that controls some of the feeling in your leg. I have found that core strengthening exercises and stretching greatly helped my sciatica. Abdominal crunches and hamstring stretches helped alot. It’s important to be consistent though. Building these core muscles help to stabilize your back and torso which prevents the discs from further rupturing.
LOW BACK PAIN ,CAUSES AND TREATMENT- Everything You Need To Know – Dr. Nabil Ebraheim
in India , how much it would cost a foreigner to do Microdiscectomy surgery to cure herniated lumbar disk ?
i heard it is cheap in india and good
Generally in any respectable hospital the surgery is 30%, medications 15% and ward charges pre and post surgery is 45%. The variable element is the ward expenses. It can be 60% also.
I believe the total expenses would vary between 150000 to 250000 in the top layer hospitals.
I know that this sounds kind of crazy but can large breast cause a herniated disk?
I am a 34 year old mother of 2 and i have always had large breast {DDD}. And i have always had problems with my upper back and now i find that i have a herniated disk in my lower back, i have not had a injury or accident so could the large breast be the problem and should i have a reduction
I think herniation is not often from accidents but more often from repetitive stressful use (bending and lifting – people usually think men picking up boxes but in women, picking up babies/children is a BIG stress). I don’t think large breasts can *cause* herniation, but I think carrying around the weight of large breasts can put more strain on the back, so it could possibly contribute.
The breast reduction surgery question is a little harder. Ask your doctor if s/he thinks the breasts were a contributing factor and if s/he would recommend breast surgery, first of all. Then get more information about other factors to consider (infection rate, how long you’ll have to be not active after the surgery) before deciding. (Also take some consideration of whether they’ll be likely to grow large again after surgery. A friend of mine got a breast reduction to a C cup, and within a couple years they were up to a D. She is a little overweight. And she started out as DD or something, so she says she’s still happy with the results. I don’t know what kind of experiences other people have had.)

What is the best type of doctor to see if I know I have a herniated disc?
I lived in China where I got an MRI and found out I have a herniated disc. Does anyone know the best doctor to go see for that? I’ve heard go to a neurosurgeon and not an orthopedic surgeon. Also…anyone heard of going to a chiropractor? I have had the pain for over a year so I think I’m in the 10% that don’t get better after 6 months or less. Thanks!
Your physician will refer you to a doctor in your area.

I think i may have a herniated disc it fills like maybe the c5-c7 vertebrae area (the spasms and pain are coming from that area).
if it is a herniated disc is it a serious injury or will it heal on its own?
my symptoms:
its effecting the left side of my body only, if i move or try to use my left arm to much it starts to hurt that part of my neck/back and that arm is slightly numb and has a tingling sensation also when i move around to much that part of my neck start to cramp/spasm really bad. when it starts to cramp i get a pain and the numb tingling that travels up the left side of my neck and head and into my left eye when that happens its hard for me to keep focus in that eye and i get a little disoriented.
does this sound like anything to anyone?
*feels not fills
I would think that you have some type of disc damage that can be identified with an MRI. You need to have an MRI so the specialist can see what kind of damage you have. This problem will not go away on its own. You may require physical therapy and medication, or heaven forbid, surgery so that the numbness you are feeling goes away. In the meantime, if you want to treat yourself with herbs, a good one that I take for leg and back pain is White Willow Bark, which is equivalent to aspirin but does not have the same side effects.
