Bryan College Station Chiropractor Dr. David Bailey Reveals the Secrets of Curing Disc Pain

Herniated or slipped discs in the neck or back can be extremely painful. Spine pain and pain and/or numbness down the arm or leg can be caused by a pinched nerve from a bad disc.

Common treatments are chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, medications, injections, and even (in rare instances) surgery.

In most cases, you get some relief from these, but the pain can come back.

The real key is to learn how to help yourself at home. And that can be done, but only;y after a careful professional assessment and instruction.

Disc pain can be managed by recognizing the cause of slipped discs: repeated motions or chronic postures.

The forces on the disc by repetitive movement or chronic bad posture can squeeze the disc out onto the nerve. If that happens, pain, numbness, muscle spasm and muscle weakness, and tingling can result.

A careful professional assessment can reveal to you how to manage these conditions on your own, for the most part. That will save you money and time by not going to the doctor as much.

Just look for a skilled disc doctor who knows how to train you to take care of your own neck or back.
