Chiropractic Treatment for Disc Issues in Lakewood, CO

There are discs located between each of the vertebrae in your spine. Most people don’t think about these discs much—until they start causing pain. A disc that has been injured or has started to degenerate prevents the spine from functioning properly. Common symptoms of disc issues include:

• Back pain
• Increased pain with repetitive movement
• Discomfort when sitting
• Sharp pain caused by sneezing, laughing, or coughing
• Numbness and tingling sensations that extend down to the arms or legs

During normal daily activities, the spine moves and this movement keeps the discs healthy. If movement to the spine is lost or limited for an extended amount of time, there is an increased amount of pressure on the discs. This pressure causes them to spill out from between the vertebrae, a condition called disc bulge.

If left untreated, disc bulge can progress into a herniated disc. Treatment options are limited for patients with herniated discs, but chiropractic offers the best possible chance of avoiding invasive surgical procedures. Our chiropractors treat compromised discs by using spinal manipulation, traction, stretches, and exercises to strengthen the back to restore proper function.
