At Tallahasse Chiropractic, we treat many conditions, whether genetic or acquired. Among these, we specialize in alleviating pain caused by herniated discs, sciatica, and migraines. Since there are many causes of various body aches and pain, becoming familiar with your own risk factors may help in the treatment and early identification of a potential problem.

HERNIATED DISCS & SCIATICA

Symptoms of herniated discs range from no pain to severe pain, and may include muscle weakness, lack of sensation in the affected area, or unspecified pain in other parts of the body. Although there is the possibility of a genetic component involved in disc herniation, avoiding behaviors that caused the acquired condition will keep your body strong. Among the general stress and "wear" we place on the body, excessive strain and injury are leading factors that cause herniated discs. Performing jobs that demand heavy lifting, or even those that require continuous sitting, may aggravate an even minor back condition. Did you know that smoking is a major risk factor in disc herniation as well? Toxins from cigarette smoke significantly increase your chance of disc herniation, as they lead to poor nutrition and degeneration of the muscles and discs, which are the earliest stages of herniation.

There are several conventional treatment methods employed at Tallahassee Chiropractic that have been effective in treating disc herniation. We educate our patients on the importance of proper nutrition and weight control, as well as how to move the body so as to appropriately function on the job or during day-to-day activities. We also offer physical therapy and massage therapy by our trained specialists, as well as other treatment options such as anti-inflammatory medications, epidural injections and more.

One of the most common complications caused by herniated discs is sciatica. When there is significant compression within the spinal nerves, sciatic symptoms emerge. These include unilateral pain in the legs, buttocks, or lower back. Like disc herniation, there are several treatment options available, but early diagnosis is key.

MIGRAINES

If you've ever suffered from a migraine, you know that the pain can be unbearable. It is believed that some migraines may be caused by a misalignment of the spine, causing chemical imbalance in the brain. Although there are several drugs that have been proven to help ward off migraines, many have found relief from chiropractic treatment, such as spinal manipulation. Some studies suggest that chiropractic treatment can be as effective as pharmaceutical therapy.
