Back and neck discomfort often feels like something is wrong, but it can be hard to diagnose the actual cause. Disc bulge, herniation, or degeneration are common causes of back and neck discomfort. Still, they can also be caused by weak back and neck muscles. Even when the cause is apparent, it can be hard to get a diagnosis or effective treatment for chronic back and neck pain. I’ll describe the common causes of chronic back and neck pain in this article. I will also explain how my clinic uses advanced treatment methods to treat the root cause instead of just the symptoms.

Why You Should See a Pain Specialist

Medical practitioners who do not specialize in pain and rehabilitation treatment can misdiagnose chronic back and neck pain. Most medical clinics lack the necessary equipment to conduct a thorough examination. As a result, they may assume the source of your pain is something evident, such as a hernia or degeneration. Finding a specialist who can examine and treat the core cause of the pain, rather than simply the symptoms, is the only way to properly know what’s causing the pain. This is why it’s critical to see a pain specialist. A referral from your doctor is not required to book an appointment.

Chronic back and neck pain

Chronic back and neck pain can be caused by various factors, including weak back and neck muscles. When the muscles aren’t working correctly, they can’t support the spine and head properly. This causes pain, strain, and inflammation in the tissues and nerves in the spinal cord. The pain, strain, and inflammation can travel up the spine and into the head, causing pain, numbness, tingling, and other sensations.

What Are Disc Bulg and Disc Herniation

When the disc between the vertebrae in the back of the neck bulges forward, this is referred to as a disc bulge or herniation. Back and neck herniations can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. The symptoms are similar to those of other spinal illnesses such as disc degeneration. Disc bulges can cause chronic back and neck pain, numbness, and pain that radiates up the spine and into the head. Headaches, neck stiffness, and other symptoms may develop as a result.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease, or DDD, is a condition in which the discs between the vertebrae become damaged. Spinal discs are fibrous tissue that acts as a cushion between the vertebrae. When the discs become damaged, they no longer function as cushions, causing back and neck pain and other symptoms. The symptoms of degenerative disc disease vary widely, the most common being chronic back and neck pain.

We treat Disc Bulge and Disc Degeneration with our MedX machine by targeting and strengthening your support muscles. The MedX machine employs a novel approach to train your lower back muscles to support your spine more effectively. Once the supporting muscles in your back are stronger, the strain on your spine will be reduced. In addition, reducing the pressure on your spine will aid in the relief of back and neck pain.

The MCU, in conjunction with the MedX, can give the best outcomes for patients suffering from persistent back and neck pain.

Conclusion

While there are many different treatments for back and neck pain, not all of them are equal. Seeing a pain and rehabilitation specialist can save you a lot of time in properly assessing your pain symptoms. While medications can help manage pain, they can also have many side effects.
