What is a Herniated Disc?

The spine is made of 26 bones, also known as vertebrae, and in between each vertebrae are soft shape-like donut discs filled with a jelly-like substance. The discs cushion the vertebrae and absorb shock as we bend or move. Oftentimes, the walls of the disc can become damaged and crack, causing some gel substance to escape. When this happens, the disc becomes herniated. This injury is considered a degenerative disease due to the fact that the walls of the disc can become thin and brittle with time.

Herniated Disc Symptoms

Depending on the location of the herniated disc, your symptoms can vary. A herniated disc in the upper back region commonly impacts the shoulders, arms, and hands. If a disc is herniated in the lower back, symptoms will be felt in the buttocks, legs, and feet. Patients with a herniated disc report feeling clumsier than usual, finding themselves dropping items or tripping more often.

Treatment for a Herniated Disc

Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive treatment option that is regularly used to help treat herniated disc injuries. This treatment option restores the delicate balance between the muscular and skeletal systems. By restoring balance, the body is put back into alignment, eliminating any undue stress and pressure that may be applied to joints, bones, and soft tissues. Depending on your injury, our chiropractor may use one or several techniques to help treat your herniated disc, including chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, and spinal decompression.
