Differentiation of Spinal Disc Injuries

      Quite often I am asked what the difference is between different types of disc injuries of the spine.  While the nomenclature is sometimes interchanged there are specific names for each type of disc injury.  However, what does need to be made clear is that no matter which type of disc injury you are suffering from, pain, numbness, and loss of bodily function can occur with any of them.  Due to this, it is highly recommended that Chiropractic Care begin immediately to prevent any further damage that will occur if left untreated.  Disc injuries are permanent, but the sooner treatment begins, the quicker the pain and dysfunction can be corrected.  This will also prevent future damage that can progressively worsen over time.  If you or someone you know is suffering from a disc injury, Call Bode Chiropractic today to prevent a disc injury from becoming a lifetime problem.
