How To Heal A Herniated Disc Quickly

For those seeking rapid and effective herniated disc treatment, our Deuk Laser Disc Repair offers a state-of-the-art solution. 

Developed by Dr. Ara Deukmedjian, this minimally invasive procedure uses a Holmium YAG laser to target and remove herniated nucleus pulposus and scar tissue. 

In contrast to traditional surgeries like spinal fusion or total disc replacement, Deuk Laser Disc Repair preserves spinal integrity and function. 

With a remarkable 95% success rate and no reported complications over 15 years, this procedure stands as a superior alternative.

Based on our observations, a herniated disc can manifest in a sharp or burning pain at the site of the herniation. 

This condition occurs when a tear forms in the outer layer of the intervertebral, making way for the inner water-dense nucleus pulposus to enter and cause inflammation.

In some cases, herniation may compress nearby nerve roots, leading to radiating pain, numbness, or tingling sensations along the affected nerve's pathway. In the lumbar region, this presents as sciatica, a pain extending from the buttock down the leg.

In cases where the herniation impinges upon the spinal cord, individuals may develop myelopathy, a condition characterized by difficulty with coordination, balance issues, and in severe cases, loss of bladder or bowel control.

Several factors can increase the likelihood of developing a herniated disc. Age is a significant contributor; as individuals grow older, spinal discs naturally degenerate, becoming less flexible and more prone to rupture. 

Engaging in physically demanding activities involving repetitive lifting, bending, or twisting can also elevate the risk. 

Lifestyle choices, like smoking, can diminish oxygen supply to spinal tissues, accelerating degeneration. Excess body weight places added stress on the spine, further increasing susceptibility to herniation.

Genetics play a role as well; a family history of herniated discs may predispose individuals to similar issues. 

Lastly, prolonged periods of inactivity or maintaining poor posture can weaken the muscles supporting the spine, making injuries more likely.

It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional if you experience back or neck pain that persists beyond six weeks. This indicates that the problem has become chronic and must be treated.

Immediate medical attention must be sought if there is loss of bladder or bowel control, as these could be signs of a more serious condition.

Physicians begin with a thorough medical history and physical examination, assessing reflexes, muscle strength, and sensory responses. 

Imaging studies, like MRI scans, provide detailed views of soft tissues, enabling specialists to confirm disc herniation and determine its exact location and severity.

At Deuk Spine Institute, the diagnostic process is enhanced with a comprehensive physical examination tailored to pinpoint the specific source of discomfort. 

Patients are offered a Free MRI Review, allowing experts to evaluate existing imaging and provide personalized recommendations at zero cost.

A herniated disc does not heal on its own. Special treatment is required to foster healing herniated disc naturally.

Deuk Laser Disc Repair does just that. By only removing the nucleus fragments that cause pain, this procedure permanently eliminates pain. 

Heat therapy, including hot showers, can provide temporary relief from pain, but it does not repair the damaged disc. Therefore, relief is short-lived and pain will return once the effects have subsided.

Herniated disc pain can be either temporary or chronic. If it lasts longer than 6 weeks, it is considered chronic.

Recognizing the signs of a healing herniated disc is essential for monitoring recovery. The primary indicator is a noticeable reduction in pain. 

As inflammation decreases, associated symptoms diminish. These positive changes suggest that the disc is on the mend.

The healing timeline for a herniated disc can vary based on treatment. Many surgical methods fail to bring about any healing at all. Our findings show that our endoscopic treatment facilitates recovery in approximately 9 to 12 months.

Based on our observations, adopting lifestyle habits can help prevent herniation. Regular exercise plays a pivotal role. Engaging in core-strengthening exercises stabilizes and supports the spine, thereby reducing the risk of disc herniation.

Maintaining proper posture while lifting, pulling, or pushing, is important for preventing trauma to the intervertebral discs. Using the correct techniques reduces undue pressure on the spine. 

Lastly, avoiding smoking is beneficial, as smoking is believed to decrease oxygen supply to the discs, leading to quicker degeneration.
