How Can I Tell if I Have a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc is a spinal injury that occurs when the soft interior of a spinal disc protrudes through a crack in the tough exterior of the disc. The injured disc may press on a nearby nerve, often leading to pain, weakness, and stiffness, among other symptoms. Back pain is extremely common. So, if you’re experiencing persistent back pain, it […]
Common Risk Factors That Lead to a Herniated Disc
A herniated disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like interior of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tough exterior of the disc. This generally occurs as a result of disc degeneration, which occurs naturally with age. Wear and tear over time make the spinal discs more susceptible to tearing, even with small movements of the spine. Risk Factors […]
Identifying the Signs of Carpal Ligament Instability
Your wrists and hands are intricate combinations of bones, tendons, and ligaments. Namely, one small part of the wrist is the carpal tunnel, which protects the tendons and the median nerve that are essential to the function of the wrist and fingers. The carpal ligament extends over the carpal tunnel and stabilizes the structures in the wrist. So, when carpal […]
