Slipped Disc

While the concept of a “slipped disc” is inaccurate, conditions such as bulging, protruding, and herniated discs are genuine concerns. Within the spine, each disc is a gel-like core encased by fibrous bands. These discs play a crucial role in enabling flexibility so that your body can bend and turn. However, lifting with bad form, slips, falls, car accidents, and other injuries can disrupt the disc’s core, leading to the following spinal issues:

  • Herniation – A rupture that occurs in the center of the disc.
  • Protrusion – When the disc bulges at its weakest point, placing pressure on surrounding nerves that causes back pain.
  • Prolapse – When the disc juts out between your spine’s vertebrae.

Treating Slipped Discs with Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care presents a holistic approach to slipped discs that can tackle many disc-related issues. Without relying on the use of drugs, chiropractic treatment can improve joint functionality by optimizing spinal movement and relieving inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can a chiropractor solve my disc problems?

Chiropractic adjustments can prove effective in correcting movement and alignment of dysfunctional vertebrae. When addressed promptly, before irreversible damage occurs, disc tissue frequently reverts to a healthier size and configuration.

Don’t disc issues occur normally because of aging?

No, but numerous disc issues stem from long term neglect of your spine’s needs. A considerable number of people with spinal issues may not encounter symptoms until their issues become severe. On the other hand, older adults who have worked on proper spinal care over the years may continue to enjoy strong spinal health in their old age.

Can chiropractic care prevent me from needing surgery?

Perhaps; this is dependent on the extent of your disc problems. However, seeking chiropractic care is a good idea, given its natural and non-intrusive approach.
