Disc-Related Conditions
The discs between the vertebrae help provide movement and absorb forces throughout the spine. Over time, discs can undergo normal age-related changes, while injury or other conditions can also affect how a disc and the surrounding structures function.
Disc-related conditions do not always cause symptoms, but when symptoms are present they may affect movement, activity, work, and everyday comfort.
Common Symptoms
- Back or neck pain
- Pain that changes with certain positions or movements
- Stiffness or restricted movement
- Discomfort with sitting, bending, or lifting
- Recurring episodes of spinal pain
- Symptoms that become more noticeable with certain activities
If you’ve been diagnosed with a disc-related condition or are experiencing persistent spinal pain, schedule an evaluation at Smithfield Chiropractic to determine whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for your condition.
