Disc Degeneration May Co-Exist in Lower Back and Neck

neck disc pain spine pictureDo you have a degenerated disc in the lower back? You may also suffer a degenerated disc in your neck. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre finds this is most often the situation in its Toronto chiropractic practice and relieves both neck pain and lower back pain due to a degenerated disc.

Degenerative disc disease reduces the disc's flexibility and size. This leads to narrowing of the spinal canal area where the spinal cord and spinal nerves lay. Pain is a common outcome.

Degenerated discs appear to be a systemic problem. (1) Degenerative disc disease is not isolated to one segment of the spine as it turns out.

Researchers compared patients with a lower back disc herniation to healthy volunteers. 98% of those with lower back disc herniations were discovered to have disc degeneration in their necks while only 88% of healthy volunteers did. (2)

You need not worry you if you have lower back pain and haven't had an accompanying neck pain. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is quite experienced in relieving back pain due to disc degeneration. As a matter of fact, Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre treats lower back pain patients with herniations and degenerated discs - as well as neck pain patients who have the same - all the time in Toronto.
