Disk Pain

Disc Pain Treatment in Jacksonville

What Causes Disc Pain?

Disc pain is usually caused by damage to one of the disks within the spine. Between each vertebra is a tiny disc structure. These structures act as cushioning devices, absorbing impact as you bend and move. The discs are donut shaped and filled with a gel-like substance. Sometimes, as the disc becomes older, the disc walls become brittle and crack, allowing some of the liquid cushioning gel to escape. This is called a herniated disc. This type of injury is usually considered degenerative but can also be caused by an acute trauma. Disc pain is usually centered around the area of the neck or back where the disc has been damaged but can refer pain to other parts of the body as well.

Are There Any Other Symptoms of Disc Injury?

The pain experienced with a disc injury can be mild to severe. While some people may experience a dull ache, centered in the area with a ruptured disc, others may feel a stabbing or shooting pain. Usually, tingling and numbness is associated with disc pain and common disc injuries. When the neck area is injured, numbness and pain can be felt in the shoulders, arms, and hands. Injuries in the lower back are commonly painful in the buttocks, legs, and feet. People will also often report that they are feeling clumsier than usual and are more prone to tripping or dropping items.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

A chiropractor, such as Dr. Alan Khiger, at Amazing Spine Care based out of Jacksonville, FL, has several tools at his disposal to help treat disk pain. Considered alternative medicine, chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive way to restore balance and harmony to the body. To do this, a chiropractor may make manual manipulations to the spine to relieve pressure from injured discs.

A chiropractor may also use strengthening and stretching exercises to help improve strength and flexibility in a patient's back. Further, a chiropractor may use massage therapy to relax and sooth painful muscles surrounding a damaged disc. Every patient is different, and your chiropractor will work along with you to develop a customized treatment plan specific to you.
