The answer is in this report.

Back disc - also known as a herniated disc - may happen to anyone, and it is not noticed at first, and it is discovered by chance, and the symptoms include in some of the following sufferers:

1- Back or neck pain.

2- Acute pain that spreads to the body parts.

3- An unusual feeling in the arms and legs.

4- Some symptoms of paralysis.

Professor Bernd Kladenei


explained is


working to absorb shocks and is responsible for the

movement of the

spinal column, pointing out that all the

cartilage between the

vertebrae includes a soft gel nucleus from the

inside, and there is

this kernel between paragraphs as a means of

Shock absorption between the vertebrae and surrounded by a ring of hard fibers.

And a German orthopedic surgeon added that a herniated disc occurs when the gelatinous core slides and breaks the covering made of fibers, and presses on the adjacent tissues and nerve roots.

Risk factors

For his part, German physiotherapist Karl Christopher Punter said that there are many risk factors that may lead to the occurrence of a herniated disc, including:

1- Obesity related to lack of activity and movement.

2- Wrong positions of the body while sitting or standing, and heavy lifting a lot.

3- The abdominal and back muscles that have not been sufficiently trained and strengthened can cause a herniated disc.

4- Owners of heavy physical jobs, such as transport and freight workers.

5- Women and men who have to take inappropriate positions for the body while working, such as dentists.

Herniated disc pain is not limited to back or neck pain, but one should consult an orthopedic surgeon or neurologist if the pain is severe and accompanied by unusual feeling in the arms and legs, or if symptoms of paralysis appear, in order to avoid permanent damage.

Professor Cladney indicated that it is now easy to know if there is a herniated disc or not, by relying on magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography, and the method of treating a herniated disk is related to the nature of the symptoms of each disease.

Anti-inflammatory drugs

The German orthopedic surgeon added that a herniated disc, which does not cause any trouble, should not be treated, but in all other cases, treatment is done with anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics.

And if necessary, some injections can be given with careful physical therapy, and heat plasters work to relieve pain, and the German professor confirmed that this conservative treatment achieves the desired success in many cases.

Surgical intervention

If this treatment does not succeed in eliminating the pain of a herniated disc, or if the condition worsens within between 6 and 12 weeks, then surgical intervention is required, in addition to that surgical intervention may be necessary from the beginning with cases accompanied by severe and severe pain and symptoms Paralysis, and Professor Bernd Cladney stressed that these cases are considered emergencies, and they should be hospitalized immediately.

The patient’s recovery is related to the severity of the herniated disc, the extent of damage to the surrounding tissue and nerve roots, in addition to the patient’s own discipline and behavior playing an important role.

Where one may suffer from a herniated disc again.

Overheating

For his part, Professor Hans Raymond Kasser says that heat in the form of ointments or patches helps relieve back pain.

balance, and here show the

benefit of

heat;

As it works to relax the muscles, thus relieving pain and a sense of comfort.

Some also use special pillows that can be filled with hot water and put on the back, and here it must be clarified that this pillow must not be too hot in order not to burn the skin.

And people with low pain sensitivity, such as diabetics, should exercise caution.

In contrast, special plasters and ointments contain pain relievers and some active anti-inflammatory substances.

Noting that it only treats the symptoms, not the cause of the pain, but it is also good.

In general, patches are more effective than creams.

Because it contains an insulating layer on the outside, which increases its effect on the inside.

There are also patches containing a very high percentage of chili pepper extract "capsaicin", and they can be used to treat nerve pain - for example - when the intervertebral discs put pressure on the nerves, but due to their strong effect they should be used under the supervision of a doctor.
