Disc Problems

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.

Common Symptoms

Back or neck pain
Leg or arm numbness and pain
Tender spine and muscles
Stiffness and loss of mobility
Increased pain when sitting, standing walking, or lifting

Most Common Disc Problems

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 subluxations.

Herniated Disc

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.

We Can Help!

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.

We will discuss all available treatment options with you and help you decide on the best course of action.

Our office policy is we will not treat any patient for longer than two weeks without experiencing significant results. We will continue to evaluate your progress to ensure we have chosen the most effective treatment for your condition.
