CYour lingering back or limb pain may be due to spinal disc issues. When you need disc correction in Margate, FL, Dr. Jason Milner and Dr. Alex Platon are there to assist you. They're respected chiropractors who use various services to help patients relieve spinal issues such as herniated discs.
What Is a Disc?
You’ll notice that vertebrae have flat, round bodies that are separated by soft discs. A spinal disc is also called the intervertebral disc and contains two parts. You can see the annulus fibrosis, which is the protective cartilaginous exterior of the disc. Inside these protective shells lies the nucleus pulposos, which is soft and jelly-like. These discs support your spine by holding it together and allowing flexibility. Every time you move in any way, these discs absorb the shock. When something is wrong, it can affect your mobility and cause pain.
Why Do You Need Disc Correction?
You may be experiencing numbness, weakness, or pain in your limbs, despite not being aware of injuring those areas. That can happen when you have a herniated disc pressing against the roots of nerves emerging from the spinal cord. This disc issue happens when the nucleus pulposos seeps out through the hard exterior of the disc, as can happen due to an injury or aging. When you visit the team at Margate Chiropractic Health Center for disc correction in Margate, FL, they’ll take digital X-rays and assess your spine and pain points to confirm you have a herniated disc.
Thanks to spinal manipulation and decompression, Dr. Milner or Dr. Platon can target the affected area to push the disc back into place without surgery. They apply sudden and controlled force with their hands or instruments after the spine has been stretched. Don’t be alarmed if you hear popping or cracking sounds during the spinal procedure. It’s simply your joints moving under the guidance of our chiropractors.
If you have pain radiating to your extremities from your spine, it’s time to get help. The longer you wait, you increase the likelihood of needing more invasive methods. Dr. Milner and Dr. Platon are waiting to help you with your spinal issues at Margate Chiropractic Health Center.
