Many people have suffered psychosomatic symptoms, it may have been you or someone you know. A psychosomatic disorder is defined as an illness that seemingly has no known physical cause. A study has shown that out of patients complaining of 14 common symptoms, only a mere 16% had a physical cause for their complaint. The symptoms involved included headache, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, chest pain, back pain, abdominal pain, edema, shortness of breath, numbness, cough, constipation, impotence and weight loss. This does not necessarily mean that the remaining 84% of cases were all psychosomatic disorders, however it does raise the question of how many illnesses originate in our heads.
The “Placebo Effect”
It is very common for problems with stress, depression and other psychological disorders to manifest themselves in the body. The connection between the mind and the body is extremely strong, which has been shown by the potency of the “placebo effect”. Although a person’s physical symptoms may have a psychiatric origin, it does not make their symptoms any less real. A person with a psychosomatic illness experiences the same level of pain and discomfort that a person does with a clearly identified physical origin for their symptoms.
Many Problems Are Caused By Stress and Anxiety
The stress and anxiety levels that a person has can cause a host of physical problems, and/or can worsen the symptoms that they already have. The best idea is to get any symptoms that you are experiencing checked by your doctor to rule out any organic illnesses. However, if no physical cause has been found and your symptoms still persist, you may want to visit you physician and see if they can pinpoint an underlying emotional or psychological cause for your symptoms. This can help you to answer your health questions without taking any unnecessary medications or undergoing any medical procedures.

The vast majority of adults today have experienced some level of back pain during their life. Whether it was following strenuous activity or just lifting something awkwardly. Most often the pain will dissipate following a period of rest if it is purely a muscular type of pain. However, this is typically a far cry from what is experienced with a spinal disc injury. Quite commonly the pain experienced with a spinal disc injury is described with a variety of superlatives. Even many mothers report that they would prefer going through the pain of giving birth to the pain associated to a spinal disc injury.
Unfortunately, spinal disc problems or disc injuries are extremely common. Understanding what the discs are and how they affect your spine are very important in the treatment of protruding and or herniated discs but also the arthritis that can occur when the spinal discs have become thin. Our team can work with you to plan a course of treatment that will be effective for your condition, whether mild or severe we can help you understand and correct it.
What are Spinal Discs?
In between our vertebrae are pads called the intervertebral discs, these have a gel like soft center with a stronger outer shell. These discs are attached to our vertebrae and they act as separators. The discs are highly effective shock-absorbers and offer a guard to prevent the bones rubbing on each other as we move. The discs in our spine keep it strong, sturdy and supple.
A protruding disc indicates that the gel in the disc is beginning to push out against the ligamentous wall of the disc but it does not compromise or tear the wall of the disc. At least 60% of pain free adults have one or more bulging or protruding spinal discs. A herniated disc is when the gel in the disc bulges and begins to tears through the first layers of the ligamentous wall of the disc. The bulging and tearing the the ligamentous wall of the disc can irritate nerves, cause inflammation, numbness and often severe pain.
A more serious condition is disc extrusion (also known as a ruptured disc). This is when the gel in the disc fully tears through the ligamentous wall of the disc. When the gel-like from inside the disc leaks out it can cause intense back pain and severely restricted movement.
