Comprehensive Herniated Disc Treatment at Nexus Pain Center

At Nexus Pain Center, we understand how debilitating a herniated disc can be, affecting your mobility, productivity, and quality of life. Our expert team specializes in advanced, effective treatments tailored to your unique needs, helping you reclaim a pain-free life.

What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in its tougher outer layer. This condition often compresses nearby nerves, resulting in symptoms that can include:

• Persistent or radiating pain, often extending down the arm or leg.
• Numbness or tingling in the affected region.
• Muscle weakness, impacting mobility and strength.

If left untreated, these symptoms can significantly interfere with daily activities. Early intervention with specialized care is key to effectively managing and resolving these issues.

Advanced Herniated Disc Treatments

At Nexus Pain Center, we offer a comprehensive range of herniated disc treatments, from conservative care to cutting-edge interventional procedures, ensuring optimal outcomes for each patient.

Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatments

• Physical Therapy: Strengthen and stretch muscles to relieve disc-related pressure and improve spinal health.
• Medications: Prescribe NSAIDs or other pain-relieving medications to manage discomfort and inflammation.
• Epidural Steroid Injections: Minimize inflammation and provide targeted pain relief for affected areas.

Advanced Interventional Procedures for a Herniated Disc

When non-invasive treatments are not enough, our specialists employ state-of-the-art interventional procedures, including:

• Facet Blocks: Injections into the facet joints to alleviate localized pain and muscle spasms by reducing inflammation and numbing the surrounding nerves.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A minimally invasive procedure using radio waves to heat and deactivate nerve tissues, effectively blocking pain signals for long-lasting relief.
• Nerve Root Blocks: Precisely administered injections to reduce inflammation and relieve pain caused by nerve compression, particularly effective for conditions like sciatica.

These procedures are performed by our experienced pain management specialists, ensuring the highest level of precision, safety, and patient comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Herniated Discs

What Treatment Is Best for a Herniated Disc?

The best treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms and their impact on your daily life. Many patients find success with non-invasive treatments such as physical therapy and medications. We even have a full guide on how to manage herniated discs.  If these do not provide sufficient relief, interventional procedures may be recommended. Our team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that delivers optimal results.
