Degenerated Discs Can Ruin Your Active Lifestyle - Take Care Of Your Discs Today!

Spinal Decompression Treatment Relives Degenerated Discs!

Have you ever driven a car that lacked good shock absorbers, your body bumping up and down, and lurching from side to side? A rough ride can cause a lot of damage to your vehicle. Now think of your spine. It also has shock absorbers, your Intervertebral Discs. These cushiony discs reduce pressure on the joints between vertebrae, while still allowing for spinal mobility. Spinal discs are vulnerable to injury, poor posture and muscle imbalances. And sadly, spinal discs also degenerate over time due to the natural aging process. Disc degeneration limits movement and causes pain to the low back, buttocks or thighs. The pain may be annoying at first, but can progress to the point where it becomes debilitating.

What Is An Intervertebral Disc?

The intervertebral discs are made of a central, jelly like substance called the nucleus pulposus, and is surrounded by ligaments that keep it contained. With age, the discs get thinner and “dry out.” This reduces the space between vertebrae, puts more pressure on other joints in the spine, and limits spinal. mobility. Disc degeneration isn’t always painful at first, but is often identified when it becomes painful.

Treatment For Pain From Degenerated Vertebral Discs

An effective treatment for degenerated discs is Spinal Decompression. A specialized decompression table is used to elongate and bend the space between the joints of the spine. Small muscles which attach from one vertebra to the next also stretch out and get a chance to relax. With the addition of prescribed stretching and strengthening exercises, the spine can return to proper function. 

Don't Wait - Increased Wear Causes Spinal Stenosis!

Getting treated for degenerated discs is very important to prevent Spinal Stenosis, which occurs when disc degeneration combines with arthritis and closes up the space around the nerve. Spinal Stenosis requires more treatment to get relief, but relief is possible!
