What Can I Do for My Herniated Disc? – La Jolla, CA
A herniated disc can make life in La Jolla challenging. Whether it’s pain that shoots down your leg, constant stiffness, or nights where you can’t sleep comfortably, disc problems often get worse when ignored. If you’ve been asking “What can I do for my herniated disc?” there are safe, research-backed treatments available nearby.
Why Herniated Discs Cause Pain
When disc material presses against spinal nerves, it creates inflammation, pain, and weakness. While chiropractic adjustments or medications may give short-term relief, they usually don’t solve the underlying disc compression.
Simple At-Home Steps for Relief
Here are things you can do right away to reduce irritation:
- Gentle walking: Keeps circulation active.
- Ice/heat therapy: Alternate for inflammation and muscle relaxation.
- Posture reset: Avoid long periods of sitting; stand and stretch often.
- Basic stability drills: Movements like pelvic tilts or bird dogs protect your spine.
