L4 L5 Disc Herniation

 

 

L4 L5 Disc Herniation

 

The spine is made up of 23 discs; each segment has a number of discs. These discs are usually identified using the order of placement and the name of their segment. For instance, the disc L4 L5 disc herniation means it is located between the fourth and fifth vertebrae along the cervical region. In the similar manner, the lower and lumbar region on the spine also has these discs.

 

In most cases, it has been noted that disc herniation often occurs in the lumbar region between the L5-S1 or L4-L5. Here the letter L stands for the lumber nerve while S stands for the sacral nerve. Disc herniation in the lower lumber region has been known to intrude the L5 nerve which often causes pain in the ankle, buttocks and on the big toe.

 

Common causes of L4 L5 disc herniation

 

A patient usually has recurrent spinal disc injuries, which is often caused by bending while lifting heavy objects. It can also occur due to accident, sudden violent motion or a fall.

 

 

Treatment of this disorder

 

This disorder can be treated using different techniques, surgical or conservative. Conservative treatment involves minimizing pressure on the nerves through performing strengthening and stretching exercises to help make the muscles soft and flexible. It is advisable to exhaust all your options before resorting to expensive surgical procedures.

 

Medication

 

You can also use anti-inflammatory drug, relaxants and pain killers. However, medication only helps to quell the symptoms instead of addressing the actual problem. On the other hand, excessive use of prescribed drugs has been known to cause addiction.

 

 

If you have tried everything to fix your back pain, but nothing has worked so far, you should take a look at The 7 Day Back Pain Cure by back expert Jesse Cannone from The Healthy Back Institute. It will help alleviate your constant back pain and set you on the quick road to recovery.
