Disc Issues

Disc issues, such as herniated or bulging discs, are a common cause of back and neck pain. The discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, providing shock absorption and flexibility. When a disc becomes damaged or shifts out of place, it can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. Disc problems can occur in the neck, upper back, or lower back, often disrupting daily life.

Common Causes of Disc Issues

Poor Posture: Slouching or prolonged sitting places excess stress on the spine and discs.
Repetitive Strain: Overuse or repetitive movements, especially in physically demanding jobs, can contribute to disc wear and tear.
Injuries: Trauma from car accidents, falls, or sports injuries can damage discs or cause herniation.
Degeneration: Age-related changes, such as degenerative disc disease, cause discs to lose hydration and flexibility, making them more susceptible to damage.
Improper Lifting Techniques: Lifting heavy objects with poor form can strain the spine and lead to disc injury.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Nexus Health Center, we specialize in addressing disc issues with gentle, non-invasive techniques that promote healing and restore function. Here’s how we can help:

Spinal Adjustments: Our Torque Release Technique gently realigns the spine, relieving pressure on compressed nerves caused by misaligned vertebrae or disc problems.
Decompression Support: Chiropractic adjustments can reduce spinal compression, creating space for the discs to heal and relieving nerve irritation.
Nerve Function Restoration: By addressing nerve interference, we optimize the nervous system, allowing the body to heal naturally and efficiently.
Pain Relief Without Surgery: Chiropractic care provides a safe, drug-free alternative to invasive treatments for disc issues.
Preventative Guidance: We offer personalized advice on posture, movement, and ergonomics to minimize strain on the discs and prevent future problems.
