When you visit your North Royalton chiropractor, you can receive help with a variety of health problems. Back or neck pain can sometimes be disabling, especially when it comes to disc problems. If you think you might have a herniated disc, a visit to your chiropractic professional may provide the solution to your problem.

Spinal discs are soft and spongy and they keep the bones of the spine (vertebrae) from rubbing against each other. This cushions your spine and allows for freedom of movement with flexibility. Injures and sometimes years of wear and tear may cause discs to bulge and they may eventually rupture. This can cause you a great deal of pain, in some cases.

If a disc is herniated it can cause pressure on nerves that run through the spine. The location of the hernia will determine the symptoms. For instance, a low back disc problem may cause pain, burning, throbbing, or numbness sensations, down the back of one's legs. This can extend all the way to the feet, in some cases.

A visit to your chiropractic doctor will include examination and consultation. You may receive tests that provide a clear and distinct image of the spinal area and surrounding tissues. CT scans or MRI testing may reveal the source of your pain, and this helps your chiropractic professional determine the best course of therapy for you.

Fortunately most torn discs do not require surgical intervention. Some of the best therapy includes rest to give the affected area enough time to heal. You may benefit from ice or heat therapies, and a gradual increase in activities.

Thanks to the benefits of modern chiropractic therapy, you may notice gradual improvement over time. When you are suffering with problems associated with your back, a visit to your North Royalton chiropractor can be very beneficial. Contact the office and the staff will help you with all of the details, including information on medical insurance.
