DISC HERNIATIONS

Disc Herniations

Understanding the Condition

Disc herniation occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc bulges or ruptures through a tear in the outer ring of the disc called the annulus fibrosis. This can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arms or legs.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic treatment may include spinal manipulation to reduce nerve irritation and improve range of motion. It can also involve modalities such as non surgical spinal decompression therapy, which gently stretches the spine and helps herniated discs to heal by rehydrating the discs.

Disc Herniations

COMMON CAUSES

Age-Related wear and tear, or disc degeneration, is the most common cause of disc herniation.

Physical strain such as heavy lifting, especially with twisting or turning, can cause herniation.

Accidents or falls can cause severe disc injuries.
