Degenerative Disc Treatment

Casual man with back pain

At our clinic, we frequently treat degenerative disc issues and disc herniations, focusing on a comprehensive approach to alleviate pain and improve quality of life. Chiropractic care, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and targeted exercises are integral to this process, working together to manage symptoms and enhance mobility.

Why Do Disc Issues Happen?

Degenerative disc problems occur when the disc’s height is compromised, leading to compression, joint inflammation, and potential nerve pressure. While we can’t restore the disc’s original structure or eliminate bone spurs, we focus on decompressing affected segments, relieving pressure, and improving joint function. Techniques such as flexion, distraction and traction tables help open disc spaces, stretch surrounding ligaments, and restore better mechanics.

Lifestyle Factors and Prevention

Did you know that both genetic predisposition and lifestyle habits contribute to disc degeneration? Factors such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, and physically demanding jobs—like long-haul trucking—can increase spinal stress. By addressing ergonomic and activity-related challenges, we help patients minimize further degeneration and maintain spinal health.

Conservative Care Comes First

We always prioritize non-surgical, conservative treatments, as these options have fewer risks and often yield significant improvements. Acute pain management may involve stretching, hot and cold therapy, and modalities like interferential current or laser therapy. For long-term relief, we emphasize strengthening the spine, improving flexibility, and educating patients on avoiding strain to reduce future flare-ups.

Supporting Patients Every Step

While disc pain can feel overwhelming, we’re committed to guiding patients through their recovery. From managing immediate pain to creating long-term strategies, we aim to provide relief, reassurance, and practical solutions. Patients are never alone on this journey—our team is here to support them every step of the way.
