Homeopathy treatment for Back Problems

Herniated Disc:

The discs are structures that sit between each pair of vertebrae providing flexibility and cushioning. The disc is made up of two layers, the outer Annulus Fibrosus and the inner Nucleus Pulposa. When the outer layer is damaged of strained, it can allow the inner, gel like pulposa to extrude and put pressure on nerves that lie in the same area. That pressure causes pain, numbness and tingling in the legs or back. Most herniated discs will heal with minimal treatment. It is estimated that more than half of the people who have a herniated disc aren’t even aware of it. Conservative options include physical therapy, Analgesics and Anti inflammatory, Epidural injections of pain killers and steroids given orally or by injections.
