Everyday activities can increase our risk to injuries and illnesses that cause upper, middle, or lower back pain. Such injuries could lead to spinal disc problems. Fortunately, our chiropractor in Coon Rapids MN can treat your pain and work to rehabilitate the discs here at Caring Chiropractic Center in Coon Rapids MN.
SPINAL DISCS AND INJURY
Your spine is comprised of 33 vertebrae, each of which is separated by a flat, round disc that provides a shock-absorbent pivot point for stability. Unfortunately, the spine sustains many stresses during physical activities and changes with age. This makes spinal discs susceptible to disease and injury. When a spinal disc begins to dry out or lose its strength, it may cause pain.
COMMON SPINAL DISC PROBLEMS
While you’ve probably heard several terms describing different spinal disc problems, our chiropractor in Coon Rapids MN categorizes them into two primary groups:
Degenerative disc disease: When the pain originates from within the disc itself, it’s called degenerative disc disease. A disc can deteriorate with age as it dries out, shrinks, and loses some of its malleability and shock absorbency. Sometimes, the outer portion of the disc tears as well. All of these problems cause pain.
Herniated or bulging disc: When the pain originates from a pinched nerve running through the spine, a herniated or bulging disc is to blame. A herniated disc occurs when a tear forms in the outer shell of the disc. The soft inner portion leaks out, pinching a nearby nerve. A bulging disc lacks moisture and pressure inside the disc, which causes it to compress and bulge out, resulting in pinched nerve pain.
SYMPTOMS OF SPINAL DISC PROBLEMS
If a disc in the lumbar spine (lower back) breaks down, bulges, or herniates, it can cause lower back pain, leg pain, sciatica, back spasms, numbness, and weakness.
If a disc in the thoracic spine (middle to upper beck) develops a problem, it can lead to middle back pain, upper back pain, back spasms, and numbness.
If a disc in the cervical spine (neck) is injured, it can cause neck pain and numbness with symptoms radiating into the shoulder, arm, and hand.

HOW WE PROVIDE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
A proper diagnosis involves performing a physical examination, palpation (or movement of your spine, reviewing your medical history, evaluating your symptoms, and conducting diagnostic tests, in severe cases this may include a CT scan, MRI scan, or discogram. Once an accurate diagnosis is made, treatment can begin.
If we find that the problem in your spine involves bones that are out of alignment causing pinching to the nerves and discs then you are definitely a Chiropractic Case! What your Coon Rapids MN Chiropractor at Caring Chiropractic will do is adjust the areas that are out of alignment to get the joint to restore it’s function so that the joint will be able to move and pump the disc again and relieve the pressure to the nerves affected.
Spinal decompression is also a proven treatment option for degenerative, herniated, and bulging discs that cause upper, lower, or middle back pain. This involves stretching the spinal column to relieve the stress on the disc and then try to get some mobility back into the destressed tissues in the spine. Our Coon Rapids MN chiropractor offers this effective, non-invasive treatment option as an alternative to surgery.
