Disc Problems

Disc complaints or discogenic pain is pain that specifically comes from the intervertebral discs of the spine. A Chiropractor is trained to distinguish this type of serious pain from other forms of nerve pain, which is critical for correct management. Disc problems can be serious and sometimes warrant more invasive treatment. Some will require injections and the most serious will require surgery to relieve.

Chiropractors are uniquely positioned as spine pain experts to assist patients in getting relief from discogenic pain. After a complete history and examination we can determine if conservative management is right for you. If you do not need more invasive medical treatment then we can begin treatment.

Treatment aims to improve pain free, easy and full range of motion to reduce pain. Treatments can be aimed at the joints, soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia) or the nerves.
