Ignoring a disc problem can lead to lasting damage. That’s why it’s important to see a herniated disc specialist, no matter how mild your pain feels right now. Our goal is to help you understand your symptoms and give you a clear path to recovery.

Herniated Disc Treatment in West Omaha

Between each of your vertebrae sits a small cushion called an intervertebral disc. Each disc has a tough outer layer and a soft, gel-like center that helps absorb shock. These discs keep your vertebrae from grinding against each other so you can bend, twist, and lift.

Without healthy discs, your upper body loses much of its flexibility.
Damaged discs can cause sharp pain and stiffness with even simple movements. Common types of disc injuries that can limit your movement and cause pain include:

  • Protruding discs – the inner gel pushes out unevenly and bulges on one side.

  • Herniated discs – the outer layer tears, allowing the gel to leak and bulge.

  • Disc extrusion – the most serious type, where the gel pushes far away from the vertebrae or even separates from the disc.

If you live in West Omaha or the surrounding areas like Millard or Chalco, you don’t have to live with this pain.


Recognizing Disc Injury Symptoms

A disc injury can inflame nearby tissues and irritate your nerves. This can lead to stubborn back pain, numbness, and reduced mobility. Sometimes the pain starts in your back and travels down into your legs or feet.

Common signs of disc-related nerve irritation include:

  • Ongoing back or neck pain.
  • Weakness in your legs or feet.
  • Pain, numbness, or tingling in your legs or feet, often related to sciatica.
  • Changes or loss of bladder or bowel control in severe cases.

If you’re in West Omaha, Papillion, La Vista, or Ralston and notice these symptoms, it’s time to get checked. The sooner we identify a disc problem, the better your chances for a strong recovery.
