DISC INJURY

Chiropractic Care For Disc Injuries

What Are Disc Injuries?

Between each vertebra in your spine is a spinal disc—a gel-like cushion that acts as a shock absorber and allows for smooth movement. When a disc becomes damaged or misaligned, it can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain or dysfunction throughout the body.

Common disc-related conditions include:

• Bulging Disc – When the disc protrudes outward but the inner material remains contained, potentially compressing nearby nerves.

• Herniated Disc (Slipped or Ruptured Disc) – When the inner gel-like nucleus pushes through a tear in the outer layer, often resulting in nerve pain, numbness, or weakness.

• Degenerative Disc Disease – Age-related wear and tear of the discs that can lead to stiffness, chronic pain, and reduced mobility.

Symptoms of a Disc Injury

Disc injuries can affect any part of the spine, though they are most common in the lower back (lumbar spine) and neck (cervical spine).

Common symptoms include:

• Sharp or radiating pain in the back, neck, buttocks, or limbs

• Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet

• Muscle weakness

• Pain that worsens with movement, coughing, or sitting

• Limited range of motion or stiffness

These symptoms can range from mild to severe and often worsen without proper care.
