Traditional treatment:
Most diagnoses of herniated discs are made by a primary-care physician and then confirmed with an MRI. “Most people will get better with time, modification of activities,mlb jerseys in china, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain medications to help them get by,” says Kuflik. “In many cases, people get better without intervention because the herniated part of the disc shrivels up or the nerve learns to accommodate it,cheap mlb jerseys china.” Steroid injections are another option to help reduce inflammation.
When conservative care isn’t enough,mlb cheap jerseys in china, surgery can remove the herniation. “Micro-discectomy,jerseys china authentic mlb, also called minimally invasive discectomy, removes the portion of the disc that is herniated and pressing against the nerve,” says Kuflik. “We can do these surgeries through a small incision, and most people go home the same day.”
The operation takes pressure off the nerve to reduce pain, but it can’t restore the disc to full health,wholesale nhl jerseys for china,nfl jerseys cheao custom. Studies have shown 4%-15% of patients with a herniated disc will reherniate a disc down the road, with or without surgery,cheap nfl jerseys onsale.
Most patients return to unlimited activity after surgery. “Unless the patient does strenuous physical work, most people can be back to work within a week,mlb sale jerseys china,” says Kuflik,wholesale nfl jerseys nike. “People who have more strenuous jobs can be out of work for one to three months, depending on the situation and the size of the disc herniation.”
Research breakthroughs:
The future frontier for spine treatment is preventing herniation in the first place,mlb cheap jerseys in china. “A question people are asking is, ‘Are there things we could inject into the disc space to slow down the degenerative process?’” says Kuflik. “Changing the biology of the degenerative process would be terrifically valuable, but that’s not on the short-term horizon.”
Questions for your doctor:
If a herniated disc is interfering with your quality of life, don’t tiptoe around asking, “Would I benefit from surgery?” Or,jerseys mlb china, if your doctor recommends surgery and you prefer conservative treatment, ask, “Can I have more time?” Once you’ve decided on surgery, ask the surgeon, “How many times have you done this procedure?”
“In most cases the decision to have surgery is a quality of life decision,” says Kuflik. “If the herniation causes lifestyle restrictions unacceptable to you, and you have failed an appropriate course of nonsurgical management, surgery is a viable option.”
What to do:
Get informed.
Two reliable sites are the North American Spine Society (spine.org) and the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (smiss,cheap nfl jerseys for china.org).
Lift smart.
Protect your back by bending your knees and lifting objects in close to the body.
Stay fit.
Kuflik recommends exercising for 30-40 minutes, 3-4 times a week,nhl authentic jerseys china.
Get loose.
Stretch before exercise and improve your flexibility. “If you’re loose, you’re less likely to get injured,” says Kuflik.
By the numbers:
5.1% of men and 3.7% of women will herniate a disc in their lower backs in their lifetime.
4%-15% of people who have had surgery reherniate a disc.
90% of patients report pain relief after discectomy.
