Las Vegas Herniated Disk Lawyers

There are multiple disks located in the spine which serve as cushioning shock absorbers, preventing the vertebrae from rubbing against each other during the course of our daily lives. These disks are filled with a soft, jelly-like substance. When the disks are subjected to trauma, this substance may begin to "leak" out, potentially pushing against a nerve in the spine and causing intense pain that may radiate to other regions of the body. Herniated disks are rarely noticed immediately following an accident or trauma, as they require an MRI to properly diagnose.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a herniated disk, it is important to have an experienced legal representative on your side. Contact the Las Vegas herniated disk attorneys of William Palmer & Associates today at 702-888-2222 in order to determine the extent of liability in your case.

Treatment Options for Herniated Disks

According to the Mayo Clinic, around 80 percent of patients with a herniated disk experience significant improvement and a return to normality within two months. However, patients who require treatment have various options at their disposal. The main goal of most treatments is to decrease pain, giving your body the best opportunity to heal itself. Once the pain has subsided, the goal becomes to strengthen and stabilize the back muscles. Some of these treatment options include:

• Decompression Surgery
• Stretching and Traction
• Bracing
• Hydrotherapy
• LPain Medications
• Cold and Heat Therapy
