Slipped Disk Doctor in Ronkonkoma


A slipped disk, more commonly known as a herniated disk, is a common culprit for back pain in many people. Dr. Lambert and Dr. Berns, slipped disk doctors in Ronkonkoma have helped many patients through the recovery of herniated disks by using many different techniques to help make the healing process as quick and easy as possible. What many people don't know about a slipped disk is that the pain it causes can be debilitating, which is why it is important to begin treating it immediately.  Dr. Lambert and Dr. Berns are experts when it comes to resolving herniated disks.  

 

A person's spine is composed of bones and disks. The disks are soft and lie between the bones, working as a cushion. The outer ring of the disk can tear or become weak which causes the inner part to slip out. When the disks begin to rupture, this presses against the nerves in the backbone and is called a slipped disk, herniated disk, or ruptured disk.

 

It is very easy to develop a slipped disk; Dr. Lambert and Dr. Berns have treated patients with many different causes and symptoms. Some of the causes of a slipped disk are:

  • Age

  • Twisting

  • Lifting heavy objects

  • Weight 

  • Injury

  • Strain


Connetquot Chiropractic, a Ronkonkoma-based clinic has also treated patients with some of these common symptoms:

  • Weakness

  • Numbness

  • Pain

  • Backache

  • Sciatica


As the leading slipped disk doctors in Ronkonkoma, Dr. Lambert and Dr. Berns will first examine each patient to diagnose if they indeed have a slipped disk. Treatment for a slipped disk ranges from conservative to radical approaches such as surgery. Some treatment approaches are: 

  • Chiropractic Care

  • Over the counter pain relievers

  • Avoiding heavy lifting

  • Remaining active

  • Muscle relaxants

  • Narcotics

  • Nerve pain medications like gabapentin or duloxetine
