Disc Degeneration May Co-Exist in Lower Back and Neck

neck disc pain spine pictureHave a degenerated disc in the lower back? You may have the same in the neck. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic finds this is most often the case in its Fort Wayne chiropractic practice and relieves both neck pain and lower back pain in part 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 often results.

Degenerated discs appear to be a systemic problem. (1) Degenerative disc disease is not isolated to one portion of the spine it seems.

Researchers examined 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)

You need not worry you if you have lower back pain and have not had any neck pain. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is considerably experienced in relieving back pain due to disc degeneration. For example, Aaron Chiropractic Clinic treats lower back pain patients with herniations and degenerated discs - as well as neck pain patients who have the same - all the time in Fort Wayne.
