Disc Problems

pinched nerve with a disc injury

What are spinal discs?

 Between your spinal bones are flexible, gel-like pads called “discs”. 

Discs act as a cushion or shock absorber for the spine as well as ensures spinal flexibility. They consist of a soft inner core made mostly of water, and a tough outer wall that consists of fibers and tissue. 

Without these soft cushions, spinal bones would not only scrape against each other, but you would be unable to move the spine to its intended range of motion.

Most Common Disc Problems

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease

  • The most common disc problem is degenerative disc disease. This disease occurs when the inner wall of the disc loses water and as a result, may cause tears in the tough outer wall fibers. 
  • The disc will become thinner and can not absorb shock as well. Less cushion and narrow disc space result in the formation of bone spurs along the edges of the vertebra. 
  • This damage may be caused or accelerated by the presence of a subluxations.

Herniated Disc

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease

  • Sometimes called a “bulged” or “slipped” disc, and involves damage to the tissue and fibers that are the cushions between the vertebrae. 
  • This damage may be caused or accelerated by the presence of a subluxation. When fiber tear(s) in the tough outer wall of the disc this may result in the content of the inner wall to push through.
  • Your disc may bulge, irritate nerves and cause a lot of pain and discomfort.

Chiropractic spinal manipulation has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective tool in managing disc problems and is less evasive than other professional treatments. In most circumstances, spine surgery and injections are not necessary for the management of disc problems and do not fix the underlying cause.
