Disc Conditions

Discs are the strong ligamentous pads between each vertebrae that protect your spinal column as you move. Their function is to hold the vertebrae apart and also hold them together.

Different Disc Disorders that Contribute to Back Pain

Slipped Disc- Discs can’t really “slip,” they are firmly attached to the vertebrae on each side. They can, however, because of vertebral misalignment or repeated stress bulge and become wedged between vertebrae. The bulge presses on the surrounding nerves or spinal cord and causes pain. Although rare, discs can rupture. This is usually caused by a tremendous trauma or a pathological weakness in the area. Chiropractic can correct the spinal misalignment around the problem area and help return the disc to its normal function.

Disc Degeneration- Almost everyone over forty shows evidence of disc degeneration. The discs begin to thin due to age, a prior injury, or genetic factors. Once a disc begins to degenerate, the joints can’t move properly and often become pinched. This is called “impingement.” The impingement is the cause of the pain, not the disc itself. Chiropractic can be effective in relieving pain associated with impingement.

Dana Pemberton is the best chiropractor I’ve ever had. She was compassionate, really listened to my complaints, and has given me so much relief from nearly debilitating lower back pain. There are other chiropractors closer to me but I will never go to anyone else.

Gus is great. He makes visits so easy and comfortable. He helped get rid of the pain I was having so quickly. I completely trust his opinions and treatment plan and will be returning to him for maintenance and for any new injuries I have in the future.
