Advanced Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment: Combining Chiropractic Care and SoftWave TRT at The Fix Chiropractic with Dr David Russ in Wilmington, NC

Herniated discs can cause debilitating back pain and significantly impact daily activities. Dr. David Russ at The Fix Chiropractic in Wilmington, NC, has developed an innovative approach to treating this common spinal condition, combining the effectiveness of chiropractic care with the cutting-edge SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT). This dual approach not only alleviates pain but also addresses the underlying causes of herniated discs, promoting long-term spinal health.

Understanding Herniated Discs and Their Phases

A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like center of a disc ruptures through a weak area in the tough outer wall, similar to the filling being squeezed out of a jelly doughnut. Depending on the condition and progression of the herniation, it can be classified into three phases:

• Contained Disc Herniation: The disc’s nucleus pulposus remains contained within the annulus fibrosus, though it may still cause bulging and significant pain.
• Non-Contained Disc Herniation: This occurs when the nucleus pulposus breaks through the annulus but remains within the disc area.
• Sequestered Disc Herniation: The most severe form, where fragments of the nucleus pulposus break free from the disc and enter the spinal canal.

Causes and Symptoms of Herniated Discs

Herniated discs can result from general wear and tear (disc degeneration), lifting heavy objects improperly, sudden pressure on the disc, or injuries. Symptoms vary based on the disc’s location and whether it compresses any spinal nerves. They can include:

• Pain and numbness, typically on one side of the body
• Pain that extends to the arms or legs
• Pain that worsens at night or with certain movements
• Unexplained muscle weakness
• Tingling, aching, or burning sensations in the affected area

Traditional Medical Treatments vs. Dr. Russ's Approach

Traditionally, herniated discs are treated with rest, pain medications, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery. However, these treatments often provide only temporary relief and can carry risks of complications or lengthy recovery periods.

Dr. David Russ combines chiropractic adjustments with SoftWave TRT to offer a superior alternative. This innovative approach ensures comprehensive care by addressing both the mechanical and biological aspects of herniated disc recovery:

• Chiropractic Care: Dr. Russ uses targeted spinal adjustments to correct alignment issues and reduce pressure on the herniated disc, easing pain and improving spinal function.
• SoftWave TRT:This technology enhances the body’s natural healing processes by stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue regeneration at the cellular level. SoftWave TRT specifically helps by:
  • Increasing Blood Flow: Enhanced circulation brings necessary nutrients and oxygen to the damaged disc, facilitating healing.
  • Reducing Inflammation: SoftWave treatment significantly lowers inflammation around the herniated disc, easing pain and preventing further damage.
  • Stimulating Tissue Repair: The activation of stem cells and growth factors accelerates the regeneration of healthy tissue around the spine.
