Disc Problems

While there’s no such thing as a slipped disc, bulging, protruding and herniated discs are very real.

Each spinal disc has a jelly-like center that is contained by bands of fibrous tissue. Healthy discs allow you to have flexibility to turn and bend with ease. Improper lifting, slips, falls, and car accidents can cause the core to shift and the following disc issues to arise:

  • Herniation – This occurs when the central portion of the disc ruptures.
  • Protrusion – A common cause of back pain, protrusion is when the disc bulges where it is the weakest, resulting in pressure to nearby nerves.
  • Prolapse – A prolapsed disc involves a spinal disc escaping from between the vertebrae of the spine.

    Chiropractic First

    Chiropractic is a remarkably effective and natural solution that can address a variety of disc problems. Drug-free chiropractic care can help to improve joint mechanics by improving spinal motion and reducing inflammation.
