As the premier specialist team for back pain in New Jersey, we find it as important to educate our patients as it is to treat them. When a patient has been properly educated, they have a better relationship with their doctor and gain the back pain knowledge they need to help prevent future injuries.

Rupture of a vertebral disc can be caused by natural wear and tear due to aging or through traumatic injury. A herniated disc can push painfully against a nerve root and send pain down the sciatic nerve resulting in a burning, tingling, and/or numbing sensation from the lower back down to one or both feet.

Herniated disc treatment typically includes a combination of medication, physical therapy, and/or surgery. If you are suffering from this condition, you need a doctor that specializes in back pain problems and a facility that focuses on pain management in New Jersey. At New Jersey Pain Care Center, we are committed to treating back and neck disorders with an expert team dedicated to improving our patients’ quality of life.

In order to educate our patients further, we’ve provided this resource on herniated disc treatment as well as symptom education. If you have the time, please feel more than welcome to browse through this helpful information.
