Disc Injury

There are 24 vertebrae in our spinal column, separated from one another by cartilage "shock absorbers" called discs. When your spine is not properly aligned, the vertebrae can compress the disc between them. This can be caused by a sudden injury such as a fall, a car accident, a sports injury or heavy or repetitive lifting. The injury to the disc doesn't necessarily have to be sudden--daily wear and tear, prolonged sitting, even poor posture can all contribute to disc damage. Disc injury most often occurs in the lower back, but the neck is also often involved. Chiropractic adjustments help realign your spine and help restore the normal joint motion to your spinal vertebrae. Chiropractic can safely manage many disc problems without the use of dangerous drugs, injections or surgery. Why risk the dangerous side-effects of these methods when Chiropractic offers a safe and effective solution to helping spinal disc problems?
