Disc Injuries

Disc injuries create many different symptoms and, in general, are very misunderstood by the public. At its core, disc problems arise most commonly when there is poor spinal alignment. Over time this poor spinal alignment decreases the health of the disc and can force it to bulge in different directions. Depending on where the disc bulges, this can cause severe pain, radiating pain, or even effect your organ systems. Disc issues may also arise from heavy lifting or other acute injuries. It is important for your chiropractor to diagnose which disc is the issue and to eliminate the negative physical pressures creating the problem.
