Types of Spinal Disc Problems

If you’re feeling pain with every move and think you’ll never feel like yourself again, you’re not alone.

This pain is your body’s way of telling you to take a look inside—it’s a sign that you’ve pushed yourself too hard.

But don’t worry, with the right care and some time, you can definitely get back to your old self.

Why It’s Important

The most common issue with spinal discs is a bulge or herniation, especially in folks aged 45 to 65. This happens because our discs become less hydrated and more rigid as we age.

When a disc bulges or herniates, it means the soft inner part is trying to push through the tougher outer layer. This can lead to pain in two ways: if the bulging disc presses on a spinal nerve, you might feel pain in your arms or legs, or if the inner part breaks through, it can cause significant inflammation and discomfort.

What to Do Next

The silver lining? Your spine is super resilient.

Research shows that movement-based treatments, like spinal adjustments and rehab exercises, can really help you heal from these kinds of injuries.

Plus, focusing on exercises that help center your spine could prevent future issues like sciatica. If you’re dealing with pain that radiates down your arms or legs, don’t hesitate to make an appointment with us.

We use the latest research-driven treatments to help you recover, improve, and get back to enjoying life.
