Dealing with Disc Pain in Laplace, LA

Are You a Candidate For Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Take Our Quick Evaluation

If you are dealing with recurring lower back pain, or pain that travels from your low back down through your leg and into your foot, it may be a sign of a slipped disc.

Commonly referred to as a herniated disc, this condition can cause intense pain that, in some cases, becomes debilitating.

Pain Caused by a Herniated Disc

Living with a slipped disc can be extremely uncomfortable. In many cases, however, symptoms improve on their own within six weeks or less, which occurs in roughly 90% of herniated disc cases.

If disc-related pain continues beyond six weeks or repeatedly returns over months or even years, it may indicate that the condition will not resolve without intervention. At that point, additional treatment options—such as gentle, non-surgical spinal decompression treatment—should be explored.

What Causes Discs to Slip?

The spine is made up of a series of bones called vertebrae. The front portion of each vertebra is known as the vertebral body. Positioned between each vertebra are spinal discs, which consist of a tough, layered outer shell surrounding a soft, gel-like center called the nucleus pulposus.

These discs provide flexibility to the spine, allowing movements such as bending forward and twisting from side to side. They also act as shock absorbers, protecting the spine during activities like running or jumping.

A slipped disc occurs when one of these spinal discs protrudes beyond the normal boundaries of the vertebrae above and below it. There are three primary types of slipped discs:

Prolapsed Disc — The disc bulges outward between the vertebrae, but the outer layer remains unbroken.
Extruded Disc — A tear forms in the disc’s outer layer, allowing disc material to push out, while still remaining attached.
Sequestration — The most severe form, where disc material breaks free and enters the spinal canal, no longer connected to the original disc.

Although all three types of herniated discs can cause significant pain, many individuals find relief through gentle, non-surgical spinal decompression treatment.

If you are experiencing ongoing disc pain and suspect a slipped disc may be the cause, it is strongly recommended that you consult with one of our medical professionals.

By carefully and gently guiding the spine back toward proper alignment, our spinal disc doctors work to reduce pressure on the affected disc, helping to ease pain and promote relief.

      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Scott is truly incredible—her hands are nothing short of amazing! Before seeing her, I struggled daily. I walked with a noticeable lean to the left, felt constant discomfort, couldn’t even sit properly, and my confidence was at an all-time low. But everything changed after coming to Dr. Scott.

Now, I’m walking tall and straight, completely comfortable, able to sit with ease, and feeling more confident than ever. The transformation has been life-changing! On top of that, her office has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and her staff goes above and beyond to make you feel cared for.

I’m beyond grateful for Dr. Scott and her team—I 100% recommend her to anyone looking to truly feel better and regain their confidence!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Due to a herniated disc in my back I could barely walk. After 2 visits I was able to get around again with little to no pain. Dr. Scott worked up an exercise program for me to continue to get better. Will probably need surgery in the future but until then I’m active again. Highly recommend that you make an appointment if you have problems

Was helped with body adjustments, reduced inflammation in the problem area to pinpoint the cause. I’ve been struggling with pain for a year and a half, through my visits here it’s nearly gone. Fabulous work.
