Understanding Herniated Discs and Their Impact
The spine, a marvel of flexibility and support, houses delicate discs between each vertebra. These discs act as cushions, absorbing shock and enabling movement. Unfortunately, due to various factors like aging, improper posture, or sudden strain, the outer layer of a disc can tear, allowing the inner gel-like material to bulge out. It is a herniated disc that can cause radiating pain, numbness, weakness, and discomfort in the surrounding areas.
Testimonial: “For months, sciatica pain had me sidelined. Traditional treatments offered little relief, and surgery was daunting. Dr. Sohn’s acupuncture and herbal remedies eased the pain significantly, and I’m finally getting back to my active life.” – Sarah K., Beaverton
Traditional Asian Medicine: A Holistic Approach to Herniated Disc Relief
While conventional medicine often focuses on surgery or pain management for herniated discs, Traditional Asian Medicine (TAM) takes a holistic approach, addressing the root cause of the problem and promoting overall well-being. TAM encompasses various modalities, including:
- Acupuncture: This practice involves inserting fine needles at specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (qi) and alleviate pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
- Herbal Medicine: Dr. Sohn utilizes potent herbal formulas tailored to each patient’s needs, reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and supporting nerve function.
Testimonial: “I was initially skeptical, but Dr. Sohn’s gentle acupuncture treatments and herbal teas have made a difference. My disc pain is fading, and I feel more energized overall.” – John L., Portland
