🦴 Herniated Disc: Know the Signs & When to Seek Care 🦴

A herniated disc occurs when the soft cushion between spinal bones slips or ruptures, putting pressure on nearby nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness—often affecting the back, neck, arms, or legs.

Common symptoms include:
• Back or neck pain
• Pain radiating down the arms or legs
• Numbness or tingling
• Muscle weakness
• Pain that worsens with movement

💡 Helpful Tips for Relief & Prevention:
✔ Maintain good posture
✔ Use proper lifting techniques
✔ Stay active with low-impact exercise
✔ Maintain a healthy weight
✔ Seek medical care if pain persists or worsens

Early evaluation can help prevent complications and improve recovery.

🟢 Vitamin K: A Small Nutrient with a Big Role in Your Health 🟢

At Shelton Hospitalist Group, Dr. Shelton and our medical team believe that education is key to better health outcomes. Vitamin K is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in blood clotting, bone strength, and heart health. Without adequate Vitamin K, the body may struggle to stop bleeding properly and maintain strong bones.

Vitamin K is found naturally in foods such as leafy green vegetables, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and certain oils. It is especially important for newborns, older adults, and patients on certain medications, including blood thinners, to understand their Vitamin K needs and maintain proper balance.

If you have questions about Vitamin K, dietary sources, supplements, or how it may interact with your medications, our team is here to help guide you with personalized, evidence-based care.
