Disc Injuries and Chiropractic Care

Help with disc injuries from Dr. Stepanie Louie Chiropractor Victoria BC

In between the spaces of your spine are discs, the ‘shock absorbers’ of your back. Healthy discs decrease the load of impact on your spine and allow the nerves that run through the spinal column to avoid being pinched off. These discs can bulge, tear, rupture or become inflamed, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, which in turn can cause severe back and leg pain.

Causes and Responses to Disc Pain

Healthy discs allow you to function properly. Improper lifting, slips, falls, car accidents, poor posture, and repetitive strain injuries can compress and damage the discs and ultimately cause disk pain as well as pain in other areas of your body. Chiropractic adjustments and specialized exercises can rehabilitate and restore the discs, allowing the surrounding tissues and muscles to relax, decreasing pain symptoms.
