🤰 Back Pain During Pregnancy? It Might Be More Than Just Posture 🤕

While it’s common to experience discomfort during pregnancy, persistent back pain that radiates into the legs or causes numbness could signal a herniated disc.

A herniated disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through the tougher outer layer—often irritating nearby nerves. Pregnancy can make this worse due to added weight, posture shifts, and hormonal changes that relax joints and ligaments.

Common symptoms to watch for:
- Lower back pain with leg pain or numbness
- Tingling or weakness in the feet or legs
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods

So what are your options for safe relief during pregnancy?

Most begin with conservative care like:
✅ Physical therapy tailored to strengthen core muscles safely
✅ Heat and cold therapy to reduce inflammation
✅ Massage, acupuncture, and light exercise for better mobility

Pain medications are limited during pregnancy—NSAIDs are generally avoided—so acetaminophen may be used under a doctor’s supervision.

Surgery? It’s rare during pregnancy and only considered in severe cases.

For those still struggling after delivery—or those concerned about long-term spine health—there are options beyond surgery.

The Discseel® Procedure may provide lasting relief for patients with ongoing disc damage after pregnancy. It’s a non-surgical treatment designed to seal and heal the affected discs using a natural fibrin sealant—helping restore spine function without cutting or implants.

Discseel® is one of several advanced treatments available for patients who want relief without the risks of spinal surgery.

Are carbs really the enemy of weight loss? 🤔 You might be surprised! At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, we believe in empowering our community with evidence-based insights, not myths—because not all carbohydrates are created equal.

The truth is, certain high-carb foods provide essential nutrients, fiber, and lasting health benefits that support your energy, gut health, and even your weight management goals. Here are some powerhouse foods you can add to your plate:

✨ **Quinoa**: Gluten-free, rich in protein and fiber—helping you feel full and aiding in blood sugar control.
✨ **Oats**: Loaded with beta-glucan fiber to support digestion, lower cholesterol, and keep you satisfied longer.
✨ **Bananas & Sweet Potatoes**: Packed with vitamins, potassium, and antioxidants for natural energy and disease prevention.
✨ **Beets & Blueberries**: Nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory, and great for your heart and performance.
✨ **Legumes like Kidney Beans & Chickpeas**: High in fiber and plant protein for lasting fullness and improved blood sugar.

Remember, it’s not about cutting carbs entirely, but **choosing the right kinds**: whole grains, fruits, and legumes provide key vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs. Limiting refined carbs (like white bread and pasta) can make all the difference.

If you’re struggling with weight management or unsure what the ideal balance looks like for *you*, we’re here to help. Our compassionate experts will tailor a plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.

😣 Living with L4-L5 back pain? You're not alone—and there are real options beyond surgery.

A bulging or herniated disc at the L4-L5 level can disrupt daily life with symptoms like:

✔️ Chronic low back pain
✔️ Numbness or tingling in the legs
✔️ Reduced mobility and stiffness
✔️ Sciatic nerve irritation that radiates pain

This spinal segment is responsible for bearing your body’s weight and enabling movement—so when it’s compromised, the effects are hard to ignore.

🩺 What causes it?

Many cases are linked to degenerative disc disease—where discs lose hydration and flexibility with age. But injury, poor posture, smoking, and genetics can all play a role.

📋 Treatment options often begin conservatively, including:
✅ Physical therapy or chiropractic care to strengthen and stabilize
✅ Epidural steroid injections for inflammation relief
✅ Pain management strategies for symptom control

While these approaches can help, they don’t always treat the core issue. And surgery? Some patients fear the recovery time or loss of spinal mobility.

That’s where innovative, non-surgical care comes in.

👉 The Discseel® Procedure uses a biologic fibrin sealant to help heal damaged discs from the inside out—without fusion, cutting, or long hospital stays.

It’s minimally invasive and designed to repair the disc, not remove or replace it.

Discseel® may be worth exploring if you:
🔹 Haven’t found lasting relief from conservative care
🔹 Want to avoid spinal fusion or discectomy surgery
🔹 Are looking for a treatment that addresses the root cause

At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, Dr. Matthias Wiederholz specializes in advanced, non-surgical disc repair solutions—including Discseel®. Patients have reported real improvements—and you can hear their stories on our YouTube channel.

🚨 Still in Pain After Treating a Disc Herniation? It Might Be a More Serious Issue—Like a Disc Extrusion 🚨

Often mistaken for a herniated disc, a spinal disc extrusion is actually a more advanced condition—and one that may need a different approach.

When the inner gel of a spinal disc completely ruptures through its outer layer, that’s a disc extrusion. This displaced material can press on nearby nerves, causing:

🔹 Intense pain in the back or neck
🔹 Shooting pain into the arms or legs
🔹 Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness
🔹 In severe cases, loss of bladder or bowel control

Common causes include aging discs, traumatic injury, poor posture, or genetic predisposition.

Treatment often begins with conservative approaches like:

✅ Rest and physical therapy to relieve inflammation
✅ NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, or pain patches to control symptoms
✅ Steroid injections to reduce nerve irritation

But for many, these are only temporary fixes. And invasive spine surgery may feel like a risky last resort.

That’s where newer options like the Discseel® Procedure may offer hope.

Discseel® is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that uses FDA-approved biologics to seal ruptured discs—helping patients avoid fusion and restore natural function.

At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, Dr. Matthias Wiederholz performs cutting-edge diagnostics and offers advanced spine treatments—including Discseel® for qualifying patients.

Don’t ignore the signs of a serious spinal issue. An accurate diagnosis makes all the difference.
