Bulging or Herniated Disc Injury

Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer Explains Bulging or Herniated Disc Injury

Bulging or herniated disc injury is also known as a protruding or ruptured disk that takes place due to work related injuries. When the back’s discs are always faced in constant pressure, they weaken and are easily injured when faced with accidents and the like. In some cases, discs might even bulge into the space where you can find the spinal cord and thus may cause herniated disc pain. Most bulging disc cases take place in the lower spinal column area.

Individuals who acquire bulging or herniated disc injuries in the work place may be provided with ample compensation that they deserve and that they can use for treatments from chiropractors and the like.

How is Herniated Disc Injury Acquired?

The back’s discs are ultra sensitve because they appear to be like rubbery cushions that have a hard exterior that is located in the spinal vertebrae. If this exterior is damaged in any way, then it automatically poses a threat on the person suffering from it. A repeated motion of this kind of injury might further risk the spine and the discs causing even more damage in the future.

At first glance, the damage cannot easily be regarded but later on, pain, numbness and weakness will come to play.

Symptoms of Herniated Disc Pain

Herniated disc pain can be difficult to bear. The various symptoms of this kind of condition depends greatly on the location where the actual herniated disc can be found. This condition can be found at the lumbar, thoracic, cervical spine, but the most common symptoms of a herniated disc injury are:

  • leg and buttocks pain
  • arm and shoulder pain
  • tingling or numb feeling
  • weakness of the muscles affected by the herniated disc

Diagnosis of Herniated Disc

Through a physical exam, a herniated disc injury can immediately be diagnosed. If in case other injuries are examined, then more serious tests may be administered and required:

  • X-rays —identifies various causes of back pain
  • MRI — provides a 3D image of the spine
  • Myelogram — a dye is injected into the spinal fluid before X-rays are taken; this can show if pressure is on the spinal cord
  • Electromyogram — to see whether nerve impulses are able to travel along the spinal cord.
