Suffering from Slipped Disc?

A slipped disc is not much different from a herniated or bulging disc. In fact, these terms are often used interchangeably. The difference between them is the area that is affected—the position of the disk, the condition of the cartilage, and the failure of the surrounding tissues that allow the inner fluid of the disc to penetrate the tissue and leak into the surrounding area, which may cause an enormous amount of pain and discomfort. However, some people do not experience much pain from a slipped disc, and the majority of people do not need surgery, despite recommendations for such a procedure. The most common signs that a person might be suffering from a disc problem are numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, which are often accompanied by sharp, shooting pains.

Patient with a slipped disc in need of spinal decompression therapy at Advanced Physical Medicine & Rehab in Miami

At Advanced Physical Medicine & Rehab in Miami, our Spinal Decompression Therapy is specifically designed to help conditions such as slipped or herniated disc. Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical procedure that involves slowly stretching the spine with the intention of relieving back and leg pain. By stretching the spine, spinal decompression aims to allow the flow of fluids and nutrients to recirculate in the affected area through negative intradiscal pressure, which promotes natural healing from the release of pressure to the spine.

If you are suffering from a slipped disc, depending on your condition, there are steps that you can take. The first step, of course, is to call our office in Miami at (786) 933-8070.

Cordelia C.'s 5-Star Google Review for bulging disc relief

The pain was excruciating the week of my birthday, what a horrible way to bring in my birthday. The disc was bulging hitting the nerve as well as the spine. Dr Joe assured me I will be well and it was absolutely true! I returned back to after 3 weeks of decompression and other high tech instruments. They are the best and I recommend you to receive a consultation today do not hesistate! I am in recovery and doing Great

Tamara M.'s 5-Star Google Review for cervical spine relief

I have been a patient now since May.. started out with horrible cervical neck pain, severe lower back pain, unable to walk without pain and very limited ROM.. I am an ICU RN and the patient care over the last year and an half really took it's toll on me physically.. Happily I took a friend's recommendation and came to APMR for treatment.. No surprise I had bulging and herniated discs ( plural) in my cervical spine and lumbar spine causing my pain and limited physicality.. The specialized decompression treatment that I received along with the other treatment modalities that Dr Joe and his wonderful amazing team curated individually for me not only healed me but has returned me to being able to take CrossFit classes and go for runs which I had dearly missed doing.. this has not only helped me physically but also mentally which I cannot express how important that component is to well being. I am now on their weight loss program and have safely shed 20 lbs in one month without starvation and am able to maintain my exercise routine. I am beyond happy and am very very grateful for the excellent care that I've received here at APMR.. I will be a client for life. God Bless

Marcia's 5-Star Google Review for back pain relief

I've been having treatment for about four weeks. I was doing treatment for back pain with another Chiropractor and my pain wasn't getting better. I saw the add on Instagram for Dr. Joseph on laser treatment for back pain and I made an appointment. At that point I was desperately feeling hopeless because of the pain, couldn't sleep well and could barely train. Here I am four weeks later, finally sleeping all night and back to training, still can't lift heavy but I can say I'm already 40% better and not taking pain medication. I am so thankful to Dr. Joe and all his loving stuff, everyone is very professional and you can feel the passion they have for their work. This place is truly amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone that has any type of injury.
