When Disc Pain Disrupts Your Life

Living with disc pain can make simple tasks feel impossible. If back pain keeps returning or travels down your leg into your foot, you might have a herniated disc. This common but painful condition affects many Amarillo residents.

Whether you feel sharp pain with movement or a constant ache that never goes away, disc problems can take over your life. At West & Co., we offer a better way to heal without surgery or medications. Our non-surgical spinal decompression therapy helps patients find lasting relief when other treatments fail.

Understanding Herniated Discs

A herniated disc happens when one of the cushion-like discs between your spine bones bulges out of place. Sometimes disc pain starts after lifting something heavy or taking a fall. Other times, it develops slowly over months or years.

Disc pain can feel different for each person, but common signs include:

  • Pain in your lower back
  • Sharp pain that travels down your leg
  • Numbness or tingling in your foot
  • Pain that gets worse when sitting or bending

Your chances of having disc problems increase as you age, if you carry extra weight, or if you don’t exercise regularly. Even stress can make your back hurt more.

The Three Types of Herniated Discs

Not all disc problems are the same. There are three main types:

  1. Bulging Disc: The disc pushes out between your spine bones, but its outer layer stays intact.
  2. Extruded Disc: The outer layer of the disc tears, causing some of the soft inner material to leak out, but it stays connected to the disc.
  3. Sequestered Disc: The most serious type, where disc material breaks off and moves into the spinal canal.

All three types can cause severe pain when they put pressure on nearby nerves.

Why Traditional Treatments Often Don’t Work

Many of our patients came to us after trying everything else. They were told surgery was their only option. While some disc problems go away on their own in about six weeks, many cases need proper treatment.

If your disc pain:

  • Lasts longer than six weeks
  • Keeps coming back over months or years
  • Doesn’t improve with rest or basic care

Then it’s time to consider better options before turning to surgery.

How Our Spinal Decompression Therapy Helps

At West & Co., we offer non-surgical spinal decompression – an advanced treatment that gently stretches your spine. This creates space between your vertebrae, taking pressure off pinched nerves and bulging discs. The negative pressure created during treatment helps pull disc material back into place and promotes healing.

Our spinal decompression therapy has shown remarkable success in treating:

  • Herniated and bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Sciatica and leg pain
  • Pinched nerves
  • Chronic neck and back pain
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Failed back surgery syndrome

What to Expect During Treatment

During your treatment, you’ll lie comfortably on our specialized table. Our advanced computer system controls gentle stretching cycles that target your specific problem areas. Most patients report the treatment feels good and provides immediate relief.

Each session takes about 30-45 minutes. While some patients feel better after just a few visits, a complete treatment plan typically includes 15-20 sessions over 4-6 weeks for lasting results.
