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. Satterwhite Chiropractic finds this is most often the situation in its Oxford chiropractic practice and we strive to lessen 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 one portion of the spine it seems.

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)

You need not worry you if you have lower back pain and have not had any neck pain. Satterwhite Chiropractic is fully experienced in relieving back pain due to disc degeneration. As a matter of fact, Satterwhite 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 Oxford.
