Non-Surgical, Non-Injection Pain Relief: Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations and SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology at Thrive Chiropractic

Published March 15th, 2024 by Thrive Chiropractic

Lumbar spine disc herniations can cause severe pain and limit your ability to perform daily activities. 

Here at Thrive Chiropractic in Westlake Village, California, Dr. Laura Willis and Dr. Mike Willis offer an innovative, non-surgical, non-injection solution using SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology. This advanced shock wave treatment utilizes electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to promote healing and tissue regeneration, providing effective relief from lumbar spine disc herniations.

Understanding Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations

The lumbar spine consists of five vertebrae in the lower back, each cushioned by intervertebral discs. These discs act as shock absorbers, allowing for flexibility and movement. A disc herniation occurs when the inner gel-like core of a disc pushes through its outer layer, irritating nearby nerves and causing pain.

There are three types of lumbar spine disc herniations:

  • Contained Herniation: The inner disc material bulges out but remains within the outer layer, causing pressure on the spinal nerves.
  • Non-Contained Herniation: The inner disc material breaks through the outer layer, but remains connected to the disc, irritating surrounding nerves.
  • Sequestered Herniation: A fragment of the disc breaks off and becomes free-floating in the spinal canal, causing significant nerve irritation.

Causes and Symptoms of Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations

Several factors can contribute to the development of lumbar spine disc herniations, including:

  • Age-Related Degeneration: Wear and tear on the discs over time.
  • Trauma or Injury: Sudden movements, heavy lifting, or accidents.
  • Repetitive Stress: Activities that place repeated stress on the lower back.
  • Genetics: A family history of disc herniations.

Common symptoms of lumbar spine disc herniations include:

  • Lower Back Pain: Often radiating to the buttocks, legs, and feet.
  • Numbness and Tingling: In the legs or feet.
  • Muscle Weakness: Difficulty lifting or moving the leg or foot.
  • Loss of Reflexes: Diminished response to stimuli.

Who is Prone to Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations?

Lumbar spine disc herniations often affect:

  • Older Adults: Due to age-related degeneration and wear and tear on the discs.
  • Individuals with Physically Demanding Jobs: Such as construction workers, athletes, and manual laborers.
  • People with Sedentary Lifestyles: Lack of exercise and poor posture can contribute to disc herniations.
  • Those with a Family History of Disc Problems: Genetic predisposition plays a role.

The Science Behind SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology for Lumbar Spine Disc Herniations

SoftWave Therapy, an advanced shock wave technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Here’s how it helps treat lumbar spine disc herniations:

  1. Reduces Pain and Inflammation: Provides immediate relief by decreasing pain and swelling in the affected area.
  2. Enhances Blood Flow and Circulation via Angiogenesis: Promotes the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the damaged disc.
  3. Stimulates Healing Molecules: Activates eNOS (endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) and VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) to support tissue repair.
  4. Encourages Neovascularization: Ensures better nutrient delivery and waste removal through the development of new blood vessels.
  5. Activates Stem Cells for Tissue Regeneration: Stimulates, activates, and mobilizes stem cells, aiding in the natural repair and regeneration of the disc and surrounding tissues.
  6. Non-Surgical, Non-Injection, Drug-Free Alternative: Offers a safe and effective treatment option without the risks associated with surgery, injections, or medications.
