CONDITIONS: HERNIATED DISCS | ACTIVE FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

Herniated Discs

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through the tougher outer layer, often pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness. This condition can occur in any part of the spine but commonly affects the lower back (lumbar spine) or neck (cervical spine), leading to symptoms that radiate into the arms or legs, depending on the location of the herniation.

what can cause herniated Discs?

Herniated discs can develop due to age-related wear and tear, repetitive stress on the spine, or sudden trauma.

Factors such as poor posture, improper lifting techniques, obesity, and genetic predisposition may increase the risk of disc herniation. Additionally, degenerative conditions like disc degeneration or spinal stenosis can weaken the discs, making them more susceptible to herniation.

what are your solutions to herniated Discs?

Chiropractic care for herniated discs often involves spinal adjustments to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the affected disc and surrounding nerves.

Chiropractors may also recommend therapeutic exercises, traction, or spinal decompression therapy to relieve pain and promote healing. Lifestyle modifications, including ergonomic adjustments, proper body mechanics, and weight management, may be incorporated to prevent further disc damage and support long-term spine health.
