Chiropractic Care: The BEST Treatment for Disc Injuries!
The discs in your back serve as a cushion between the vertebrae and allow proper movement of the spinal column and your back. When an injury occurs and causes the disc to herniate, bulge or rupture (often described as “slipped”), painful inflammation results and hinders motion. Grinding of the vertebrae may result in additional wear and tear on the spine, both increasing pain and reducing motion further.
Disc injuries are often a long-term process brought on by poor posture, improper lifting techniques, repetitive strain and excessive abdominal weight. The final blow may be something as simple as a sneeze or bending over.
Though pharmaceuticals can be used to relieve pain and temporarily reduce inflammation, chiropractic care in Santa Monica, CA and elsewhere can offer a more permanent solution for your disc injury. Unlike surgery, chiropractic care is noninvasive.
Through proper manipulation of your spine, alignment can be restored and inflammation reduced thereby relieving pain and restoring motion allowing you to move forward with your life. Chiropractic care goes a step further by teaching you proper posture and lifting techniques. You will learn exercises to improve back muscle and abdominal muscle strength to avoid future injuries. Weight loss advice and supplement information may also be given.
