Herniated Disc
 |
The discs of your spine are small jellylike pads placed in between vertebral bodies of the spine. The discs have a fibrous shell and act to absorb shock, connect the spine, and maintain space for the nerves. Disc do not slip, but rather, bulge, herniate, or rupture. This can be very painful and place pressure on the spinal nerves causing raditiory pain, burning and numbness. The Chiropractic approach at Grieb Chiropractic Clinic is to adjust the spine to correct spinal mechanics and position while utilizing traction to gain the disc space and vacuum the disc's jelly center back to a correct position. If you are experiencing a disc related issue, call Grieb Chiropractic today for a Free Consultation and Exam to evaluate your discs. |
