Discs are cushion-like structures located between each of the vertebrae in your spine. They act as shock absorbers and allow flexibility in your back, enabling you to bend and twist comfortably. When a disc herniates—or "slips"—its inner material can push out, potentially pinching nearby nerves and causing pain or dysfunction. Common signs of a herniated disc include radiating pain, tingling sensations, or discomfort that worsens with coughing or straining.
At Gilmore Chiropractic, we’ll conduct a thorough examination if you suspect a disc injury, using hands-on tests and, if needed, x-rays or an MRI to accurately identify the issue. In most cases, surgery isn’t necessary; we have effective, non-invasive treatments such as chiropractic spinal adjustments, spinal traction, acupuncture, and more to help you heal and relieve your pain. If you think you may have a disc injury, Gilmore Chiropractic is your gateway to relief, providing the comprehensive care you need to recover and get back to your life pain-free.
At Gilmore Chiropractic, we honor Dr. Ken Gilmore's legacy by providing expert, compassionate care that educates and empowers patients. We promote natural healing, provide relief, and optimize health—without surgery or pain medications—guiding each patient toward better wellness.
