One of the most notable changes is an annular disc tear, which can occur in your intervertebral discs. Disc tears are part of the degenerative disc disease cascade.<\/p>\n<p>They can occur naturally or because of a traumatic impact on the disc from repetitive exercises, lifting or for example an auto accident. When you experience a disc tear, this can lead to extremely painful symptoms and back pain.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for doctors who treat these annular disc tears in Arizona, look no further than Desert Institute for Spine Care. We are leaders in minimally invasive spine care, treating the source of your painful symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What are the common causes of a disc tear?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Annular disc tears can be caused by the natural aging process, trauma, high-impact activities, or sudden straining movements.

Annular tears result from degenerative changes to the intervertebral disc that weakens the disc\u2019s outer layers called the annulus. When the disc\u2019s annulus has weakened, it can lead to disc tears, bulging and herniated or ruptured disc.<\/p>\n<p>Intervertebral discs lie between your vertebrae, supporting movement and acting as shock absorbers. Healthy discs are composed of a tough outer shell, the annulus fibrosis, and soft, gel-like material within called the nucleus pulposus. These two layers work together to distribute pressure across the disc evenly.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/p>\n\n                                                        \n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t\t<\/div>\n        \t\t<\/div>\n        \t<\/div>\n\n                            <\/div>\n               \n        \t\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"image-text-block_32fbe0f1c526b782ababcec016d3e0c3\" class=\"image-text image-text--left   bg-white  image-text--inner   image-text--padding js-animated-text-container \">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row flex-row flex-center  flex-opposite \">\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-xxs-12 image-text__half image-text__text\">\n                    <div class=\"image-text__text-wrap\">\n                        <h5>Patient Education Video<\/h5>\n<h2>What Are Disc Tears?<\/h2>\n<p>Disc tears occur when the outer shell cracks or tears, allowing the nucleus pulposus to seep out. One way to picture this is to imagine a jelly doughnut. If the doughnut\u2019s exterior gets stale or dry, little cracks can form, allowing some of the jelly within to seep out through the tear.<\/p>\n<p>The gel-like material within the disc can aggravate the pain receptors found in the tough, outer shell, leading to significant pain and other symptoms. Annular tears tend to be more common in the lower back and cervical or neck region, but they can also impact other spinal areas.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"VideoObject\",\n  \"name\": \"Discogenic Pain\",\n  \"description\": \"This pain comes from one of your spinal discs.

When dealing with a disc tear, our doctors always recommend least invasive options first based on your unique condition. Many annular tears can improve and heal over time with non-surgical interventions, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exercises or physical therapy to strengthen and stabilize the affected area around the disc<\/li>\n<li>Pain medication and anti-inflammatories<\/li>\n<li>Ice or heat therapy to help increase blood flow to the damaged area<\/li>\n<li>Therapeutic injections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If conservative treatment methods fail to address your pain after six to eight weeks, we may recommend minimally invasive disc tear surgery. We specialize in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/spine-treatments\/endoscopic-spine-surgery\/\">endoscopic spine surgery<\/a>, designed to safely remove herniated disc material to ensure a fast and effective recovery. If the disc tear has developed into a severe disc herniation, we may recommend artificial disc replacement.<\/p>\n<p>The team at DISC is here to walk you through the surgery process, ensuring you understand everything ahead of time so you can make a fully informed decision. We want to partner with you to provide the best possible care.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/p>\n
