Herniated discs are a common cause of back pain. If you haven’t experienced herniated discs personally, you probably know someone who has. Thankfully, there are many safe and proven chiropractic therapies available to treat herniated discs.
What are Discs?
Discs are the soft cushioning found between the individual bones (vertebrae) of the spine. They essentially act as shock absorbers in your spine and as tough ligaments holding the vertebrae together, and can be the source of severe back pain when they get injured. A herniated disc occurs when a small piece of a disc’s center is pushed into the canal of the spine.
