Disc Herniations

Disc herniations occur when the soft, gel-like center of an intervertebral disc pushes through a tear in the disc’s outer layer. This can result in pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness, often in the lower back or neck, and can radiate into the arms or legs. While disc herniations can be caused by injury, repetitive stress, or simply aging, they are a common source of discomfort and mobility issues. At Surge Wellness, we understand the challenges that come with disc herniations and offer personalized care to help you manage pain and regain mobility.

Disc herniations can significantly affect your ability to carry out daily activities, causing discomfort and limiting movement. Left untreated, this condition can lead to chronic pain, nerve damage, and reduced quality of life. At Surge Wellness, we take a proactive approach to treating disc herniations by identifying the root cause and creating a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our goal is to alleviate pain, restore function, and prevent further injury, so you can get back to your daily routine with confidence and comfort.

How We Treat Disc Herniations

At Surge Wellness, we use a combination of physiotherapy and registered massage therapy to effectively treat disc herniations. Our physiotherapists utilize therapeutic exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the spine, improve posture, and relieve pressure on the affected discs. Manual therapy techniques, such as spinal mobilization and traction, help reduce pain and restore proper alignment. Additionally, we incorporate modalities like heat therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery.

Massage therapy plays a crucial role in managing the muscle tension and stiffness that often accompany disc herniations. Our registered massage therapists use techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to reduce muscle spasms, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. By addressing both the structural and muscular components of disc herniations, we provide a holistic treatment plan that relieves pain, restores movement, and helps you recover faster and more completely.
