Spinal discs also give us more than a foot of our height, lying between the vertebrae of our spine. As a person grows older, thinning discs from damage make them appear to shrink. The spine is designed to withstand a great deal of stress and strain; but a fall, a back injury, a violent sneeze, or improper mechanics may increase the load on a disc, causing protrusion of the disc, and compression of nerves. This is mistakenly called a slipped disc and happens at one time or another to about two out of five adults. Disc bulges are common. The outer layer weakens and bulges, pushing onto nerves or ligaments. Chiropractic adjustments will often restore proper motion to the vertebrae, allowing the disc to return to normal and relieve the pressure on spinal nerves. As we grow older repeated injuries cause the disc to begin to lose its fluid. The loss of fluid thins and weakens the disc to bulge like a weak wall on an automobile tire and gradually protrudes into the spinal canal to press against nerves and cause pain. Even young persons may suffer from disc degeneration. The disc must absorb its nutrition from the fluids, which surround it when the disc is in a state of accordion-like motion. Any of the spinal discs can be injured or undergo degeneration; but because of their location, discs in the lower spine are subjected to the greatest weight-bearing stress and are most likely to bulge or be compressed. Persons who do a lot of lifting are likely candidates for disc trouble because of the day-to-day stress upon the low back. Regardless of occupation, anyone may have weak, degenerated discs. Office workers, homemakers, and chronic TV watchers are also, even though one might not think so. Years of research and experience in disc cases qualify the doctor of chiropractic as the doctor of choice in acute and chronic disc problems. Medications only alter how you feel, not correct the mechanics of the injury. Chiropractic care for disc problems include a thorough chiropractic examination to determine extent and severity of injury, realigning the spinal column and balancing the spine, and eliminating fixations or vertebral subluxations. Exercises can also be given to strengthen and stabilize the area. Disc injuries do not go away, but the pain can. Later, untreated disc problems become a larger long-term problem. Sometimes the effects will show up years later. It is never too late to begin the process of healing. It may be time to call a chiropractor!
