Disc Injuries And Chiropractic Care

A few of the most common disc injuries include:

1. A disc “bulge” is one type of injury. It occurs from slight tears in the fibers of an annulus fibrosis, which contains a gel-like substance. This substance is known as the nucleus pulposis. These types of tears can be very painful thus making it hard for someone to lead a healthy lifestyle.

2. A disc “protrusion or herniation” is another type of injury. It occurs when the annulus fibers become completely torn. In addition, this type of injury is a more significant injury and can be extremely painful.

3. One of the most common disc injuries is a disease called “degenerative disc disease”, it occurs when the nucleus loses water and small tears appear within it. The body can form bone spurs along the vertebrae due to this particular disease.

A person can feel pain along their spine, in their legs and in their arms when they experience any kind of disc injury. However, many disc injuries can be treated without surgery or medication by seeking help from a Chiropractor.

A Chiropractor will treat every patient who experiences a disc injury or back pain on an individual basis.

The Chiropractor may treat your disc injury using one of these methods:

1. By using physical modalities thus controlling the pain.

2. Using heat or cold to help control pain.

3. Chiropractic manipulation.

The key is to get you back on your feet as fast as possible so you can get back to doing all the things you love to do without dealing with pain constantly.
