Dr. Cady can help to resolve or improve the pain associated with disc herniations. Most importantly, he has the experience of  handling hundreds of patients, providing herniated disc treatment. He has had great success in stabilizing even severe pain associated with disc bulges and herniations.  

Injury to the disc may occur when spinal motion puts too much pressure on the disc. Certainly, one of the most painful injuries that can occur is a herniated disc. In this injury, the tear in the annulus potion of the intervertebral disc is so bad that part of the nucleus pulposus squeezes out of the center of the disc. Similarly, the annulus can tear or rupture anywhere around the disc. If it tears on the side next to the spinal canal, when the nucleus pulposus squeezes out, it can press against the spinal nerves. Pressure against the nerve root from a herniated disc can cause pain, numbness, and weakness along the nerve. There is also evidence that the chemicals release from the ruptured disc and may irritate the nerve root, leading to some of the symptoms of a herniated disc – especially pain.
