Disc Problems? Here’s What You Need to Know.
Your spinal discs are built to absorb shock and keep your spine flexible. But when they get damaged, inflamed, or worn out, they can trigger serious pain, numbness, and mobility issues.
At Faulkenberry Chiropractic, we diagnose and treat disc-related problems using non-surgical, drug-free methods that get real results—fast.
Common Disc Conditions We Treat
- Bulging Discs (Slipped Discs)
- Herniated Discs
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Thinning Discs
- Intervertebral Disc Damage
Each disc issue has different mechanics and symptoms, but they all have one thing in common: they get worse if you ignore them.
Related Conditions & Complications
Disc problems don’t just stay in the spine. They can trigger:
- Sciatica
- Spinal Stenosis
- Nerve Compression
- Chronic back or neck pain
Signs You May Have a Disc Problem
Symptoms can vary from patient to patient—even if they have the same condition. But here are the red flags we see most:
- Moderate to severe neck or back pain
- Pain that gets worse when you cough, sneeze, or laugh
- Pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates to arms or legs
- Sudden sharp pain when moving or lifting
- Reduced flexibility or weakness in the limbs
Risk Factors for Disc Issues
You’re more likely to develop disc problems if you:
- Have poor posture or sit for long periods
- Are overweight
- Don’t exercise regularly
- Have diabetes
- Smoke
- Lift heavy objects improperly
- Are between ages 30 and 50
- Have a history of untreated back injuries
Age-related disc degeneration is common—but that doesn’t mean it’s untreatable.
Our Approach: Test, Don’t Guess
At Faulkenberry Chiropractic, we don’t guess or mask symptoms with meds. We find the source of the problem and treat it head-on.
Our non-invasive treatments may include:
🔹 Spinal Decompression
Relieves pressure on discs and nerves by gently stretching the spine, giving damaged discs space to heal.
🔹 Chiropractic Adjustments
Restores spinal alignment, reduces nerve irritation, and helps discs function properly.
🔹 Laser Therapy
Reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue repair deep within the spine—painless and drug-free.
🔹 Soft Tissue Therapy & Rehab
Helps reduce tension, improve movement, and prevent repeat injuries through targeted muscle work and corrective exercises.
You Don’t Need Surgery to Fix This
Most disc issues do not require surgery—especially if treated early. Our goal is to help you avoid the OR, skip the pills, and actually fix the problem at its source.
