Newport Osteopathy Treatment for Disc Injuries Initial osteopathic treatment aims to reduce pain and mobilise or manipulate the spine above the site of injury to alleviate mechanical stress on the affected area. We remove mechanical load away from the afflicted area by ensuring that the entire spine operates properly as a unit and that the range of motion of any restricted spinal joints further up the spine is improved. Any pelvic or spinal torsion can be treated to improve symmetry and paraspinal muscle balance. Along with improved general spine biomechanics, the sympathetic chain is down-regulated, controlling pain and diminishing pain perception. In addition, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) can be utilised. An MRI scan can provide a precise diagnosis by displaying the severity of a disc injury. Typically, most disc injuries will fully heal within six to eight weeks. Newport Osteopathy can alleviate pain, facilitate tissue healing, and expedite healing.
