In between the vertebrae of your spine are spinal discs that cushion the vertebrae and prevent them rubbing against one another. Pain can arise once a disc’s outer layer has ruptured and its softer center has started pressing on the surrounding nerves of the spine. A disc may rupture out of place due to a bad twist, an injury, or more.
Common Symptoms
If the herniated disc is pressing on a nerve, you may experience stinging pain and numbness throughout your back and legs. A herniated disc may also cause foot pain. Dealing with a herniated disc may also cause you to experience sharp pain while walking, sitting down, or lifting your arm.
How a Chiropractor Can Assist You
Visiting a chiropractor near you can be useful if you're looking for a non-invasive and non-addictive way to help get pain relief. Our chiropractor will evaluate you and perform tests to help determine the primary cause of your pain. This may include Dr. Kanzic assessing if you have any tears in your discs or whether your pain is a symptom of a larger problem such as spine stenosis.
