Herniated disc treatment in Malaga

A herniated disc occurs when one of the intervertebral discs shifts or ruptures, allowing the gelatinous material inside the disc to move outwards. This can put pressure on the surrounding nerves, causing pain, numbness or weakness in the limbs. At Clínica Poyatos, as specialists in posturology, we can offer you an effective treatment to improve your quality of life.

What is a herniated disc?

It is common that with age, the intervertebral discs can lose some of their water content, becoming less flexible and more prone to tearing even with minor movements. Herniated discs also occur when lifting weights incorrectly or excessively, putting too much pressure on the discs, or when one has a blow or trauma.

Therefore, it is important to be assessed by a specialist posturologist. At Clínica Poyatos we have been treating foot and posture pathologies in Malaga for over 60 years.

What are the symptoms of a herniated disc?

Symptoms of a herniated disc vary depending on the location of the affected disc and whether it presses on any nerves. The most common symptoms include:

  • Pain: Pain in the lower back or neck that may radiate to the extremities.
  • Numbness and tingling: Sensations of numbness or tingling in the areas served by the affected nerves.
  • Weakness: Weakness in the muscles served by the affected nerves, which may affect the ability to lift or hold objects.

How do you know if you have a herniated disc?

To determine if you have a herniated disc, a posturologist or physician may perform a series of evaluations:

  1. Medical history: Assessment of symptoms, their duration, and how they affect daily activities.
  2. Physical and postural examination: Tests of movement, muscle strength, reflexes and sensitivity to identify signs of nerve compression.
  3. Diagnostic imaging: Imaging tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can confirm the presence of a herniated disc and its exact location.

Treatment of herniated disc

At our posturology clinic in Malaga we can offer an effective treatment so that you can improve your quality of life and alleviate the pain caused by a herniated disc. Remember that each treatment is unique and personalized. After herniated disc surgery, it is a great time to evaluate and improve the movement patterns that have caused the hernia.

Our specialist posturologists carry out an assessment and correction of your posture to relieve pressure on your discs. Make an appointment and tell us about your case.
