Disc Herniations
If you've ever experienced a disc herniation you know how painful they are!
What causes herniations? More importantly what can be done to eleviate the pain!?
Simply put discs are the shock obsorbers of the spine & they are designed to last a life time. So then what causes the problem? There can be several different possiblities or a combination of possibilities, for example, just like with our automobile's shocks, they are only designed to carry a certain amount of weight. If you are carrying more weight than you should be, that will be a contributing factor. Other factors could & often do include postural imbalances such as a leg length difference.
According to DR. Janet Travell, who was chosen by two different Presidents of the United States as their personal physician, if you have as little as 3mm-5mm (about a 1/4 of an inch) it can contribute to back problems, including herniations. In an effort to correct that imbalance, Chiropractors will often try to "adjust it out" or give you a "Heal Lift" to put inside your shoe. In our experience neither of those options prove effective & very often cause more problems than they "cure". What we have found to be very effective is adding a full length lift in the shoe (or to the shoe if it won't fit inside the shoe) & then using INT (Integrative Neurosomatice Therapy) to help the muscles repattern back to a resting length. As this occurs the disc is decompressed & the herniation is then eliminated. No More Pain!
