For those who are tired of suffering from pain in their spine, Dr. Jeff Mollins has been helping patients just like you in Brooklyn for more than 25 years. He specializes in treatment, diagnosis and documentation of any injuries that are the direct result of an accident. Regardless of whether the accident is from an automobile, work, slip and fall or construction, you can rest assured that he will get you taken care of quickly and efficiently. One of the most common forms of injury from these accidents is that of a herniated disc or bulge.
The spine is made up of bones referred to as vertebrae. This vertebrae is useful for protecting your spinal cord and it allows you to stand up. All of the vertebrae are separated with discs, which provide us with the mobility we desire. Discs also act as a means of absorbing shock between your vertebrae. Without the discs, the spine will not have mobility or a means to absorb the shock imposed upon it.
In the event of a severe accident, tremendous amounts of pressure will cause the discs to become herniated. At this point, the annulus tears completely and the nucleus comes out of the torn part of the annulus. Herniated discs are a lot more severe than that of a bulge. The main issue is that any injuries to the disc will end up causing undue pressure on your nerves around the spine. Some of the most common signs associated with an injury to your discs are:
- Pain in your legs or arms - When the dislocation occurs in your spine, the pain will end up occurring in your arms and shoulders. If the area affected is in the lower part of your spine, it will cause the pain to radiate in your legs and buttocks.
- Tingling or numbing - One of the other common symptoms is the loss of feeling in various parts of your body from all of the pressure of the nerves where the disc is affected.
- Loss of control in your muscles - Since everything is closely related, muscle movement that becomes impaired is a common complaint.
Dr. Jeff Mollins understands how difficult it can be to deal with pain in your disc and spine, but it doesn't have to be that way. He works to provide you with a comprehensive diagnosis of your condition and come up with a plan of action to overcome the pain and suffering. Even though he always starts with a conservative approach, his quality specialists are there to help you whenever the need arises. Take control of your spinal injuries and put an end to the pain that you have been dealing with for so long.
