Chiropractic Treatment for Disc Issues in Lovettsville, VA

Discs aren’t at the top of most people’s minds until they start causing pain—and then they might be all you’re able to think about. Between each of the vertebrae in your spine is a small, cushion-like disc. When one or more of your discs begins to degenerate or suffers an injury, it prevents the spine from functioning properly. Some 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

The movements we make throughout the day keep our spines and discs healthy. When this normal movement is either lost or limited for a period of time, more pressure is placed on the discs. This pressure makes the discs spill out from between the vertebrae, a condition called disc bulge.

If your disc bulge is left untreated, it can progress into a herniated disc and your treatment options become limited. With prompt chiropractic treatment, you have the best possible chance of avoiding surgery. Our chiropractors treat disc issues using spinal manipulation, traction, and at-home exercises to restore proper function to the spine.
