A lumbar disc herniation can cause severe pain and discomfort, making daily activities difficult. At Healthwise Clinic we understand the impact of this condition on your life and offer advanced treatments to relieve symptoms and aid your recovery. In this blog we will discuss how we treat lumbar disc herniations using decompression therapy and cryotherapy
What is a Lumbar Hernia:
A lumbar hernia, also known as an intervertebral disc herniation, occurs when part of the gel-like core of an intervertebral disc bulges and puts pressure on the adjacent nerve roots in the lumbar spine. This can lead to symptoms such as lower back pain, pain radiating to the legs, numbness, tingling and muscle weakness.
Treatment options at Healthwise Kliniek:
At Healthwise Kliniek we offer advanced treatment options for lumbar disc herniations, including decompression therapy and cryotherapy. These non-surgical approaches aim to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and promote the recovery of the affected intervertebral disc.
Decompression Therapy:
Decompression therapy, also known as spinal decompression, is an effective treatment for lumbar disc herniations. During this treatment, a controlled traction force is applied to the spine, stretching the intervertebral discs and reducing pressure on the nerve roots. This can help return the hernia to its normal position and relieve pain.
Cryotherapy:
Cryotherapy, or cold therapy, is used to reduce inflammation and swelling, which is often associated with lumbar disc herniations. At Healthwise Clinic we use advanced cryotherapy techniques to locally lower the temperature, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. This also helps stimulate the body's natural healing process.
Benefits of our Treatments:
The combination of decompression therapy and cryotherapy at Healthwise Clinic offers several benefits for patients with lumbar hernias. These include:
- Pain relief: Both treatments aim to relieve pain and discomfort associated with lumbar disc herniations.
- Intervertebral disc repair: Decompression therapy can help return the hernia to its normal position, while cryotherapy reduces inflammation and promotes the healing process.
- Non-surgical: Our treatments are non-invasive and offer a safe alternative to surgical procedures.
At Healthwise Clinic we strive to provide our patients with lumbar disc herniations with effective and safe treatments. Our approach to decompression therapy and cryotherapy is designed to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and promote recovery so you can quickly get back to enjoying an active, pain-free life.
