At Dr. Golden Larson's office in Kirkland, Washington we are aware disc herniations are common in today's population yet still widely misunderstood. At Dr. Larson's office the patient's overall health is considered as is the patient's lifestyle. The purpose is to restore motion and help establish mechanical balance to your body and thus take the stress off the disc and nerve roots that is producing lower back pain and sciatica. This reduces disc bulging and and inflammation and in turn reduces or eliminates sciatica or sciatic nerve pressure. Sciatica is the medical term for leg pain where the sciatic nerve, which is comprised of the three largest nerve roots in the lower back, is compromised or "pinched" and creates leg pain. Disc herniations can also happen in other areas of the spine and can be seen after car accidents where there is a swollen disc or herniation in the neck pinching the nerves and causing arm and hand pain. This is known as brachial neuritis; A common malady resulting from whiplash. Many times Chiropractic care alleviates the pressure on the disc and nerve roots and provides relief and promotes healing by restoring motion and increasing circulation to the damaged tissue. After the healing is well established an exercise program is recommended to strengthen and tone the small muscles of the lower back and stabilize the individual segments that have been weakened.
When chiropractic care isn't enough Dr. Larson offers a disc decompression program which enables the disc to regain its normal configuration by producing just the right amount of force at the right angle. The machine which is used is called the DRX9000 for lower back disc problems or the DRX9000C for neck disc problems. The advantage of this treatment is that it is non-invasive and has very good results without the use of dangerous drugs or surgery.
