Herniated discs can occur for several reasons, the most common being aging. As you age, your discs become worn and dehydrated. This wear and tear causes the discs to herniate and cause back and neck pain. You can also suffer a herniated disc due to an injury or trauma to the spine.
While the most common symptoms of herniated discs are back pain and limited mobility, you can also experience shoulder and neck pain. Herniated discs in the lower back often cause lower back pain and numbness or tingling sensations in the legs. Other signs and symptoms of herniated discs include:
Fortunately, your chiropractor near you can help alleviate herniated disc pain and restore your range of motion with holistic and non-invasive techniques. Your chiropractor can use a spinal adjustment to realign your vertebrae and return your discs to their proper placement. Doing this can relieve pain and improve your range of motion. They may use the Flexion Distraction technique to manipulate and stretch your spine, moving the herniated disc away from affected nerves and into its natural place. Therapeutic stretches and exercises can also help strengthen your body and prevent future disc issues.
