Somerset, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2016 -- One of the most common reasons men and women pay a visit to the doctor is to find relief from back pain. Back pain can be caused by a number of conditions that can develop out of bad habits or injury, one of them being a herniated disc. However, herniated discs can be prevented and treated by consulting with the highly skilled pain management physicians at the University Pain Medicine Center.

The University Pain Medicine Center helps patients in New Jersey and New York find a solution to achieving pain relief so that they can live life to the fullest. Once the herniated disc is diagnosed, patients are provided with an effective treatment strategy that is designed to manage their specific pain.

Herniated disc treatment may entail a combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine, physical therapy, epidural injections, spinal fusion, acupuncture, and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), depending on the patient's health goals.

The Interventional Pain Management team at the University Pain Medicine Center also specializes in preventing herniated discs from occurring. By assessing and evaluating the health of each patient, the doctors can determine what approach he or she should take to avoid developing a herniated disc. Stretching, weight loss, practicing good posture, regular exercise, and eating well-balanced meals are just some of the preventative measures that the experienced clinicians may suggest.
