Disc Degeneration May Co-Exist in Lower Back and Neck

Have a degenerated disc in the lower back? You may also suffer a degenerated disc in your neck. Johnson Chiropractic finds this is often the case in its Richmond chiropractic practice and relieves both neck pain and lower back pain in part to a degenerated disc.

Degenerative disc disease diminishes the disc's flexibility and size. This results in a 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 a single 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 found to have disc degeneration in their necks while only 88% of healthy volunteers did. (2)

Don't worry if you've experienced lower back pain and have not had any neck pain. Johnson Chiropractic is considerably experienced in relieving back pain due to disc degeneration. As a matter of fact, Johnson Chiropractic treats lower back pain patients with herniations and degenerated discs - as well as neck pain patients who have the same - all the time in Richmond.
