A disc injury doesn’t just cause pain—it stops life in its tracks. Sitting, walking, bending—it all hurts. And if you’ve been told you have a herniated disc, slipped disc, or bulging disc, you may feel like surgery or painkillers are your only options.
But there’s a better way. At Edmonds Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, Dr. Jon Martin helps people find real relief from disc injuries—without surgery, without endless medications, and without limits.
What Is a Disc Injury?
Your spine is a column of bones, and between each one sits a disc—a small but powerful cushion that absorbs shock and keeps your spine flexible. But when something goes wrong with a disc, the pain can be unbearable.
Types of Disc Injuries:
✔ Bulging Disc (Protruding Disc): The disc becomes uneven and bulges out of place, pressing on nearby nerves.
✔ Herniated Disc (Ruptured Disc): The disc’s outer layer tears, allowing the soft inner gel to push out and irritate nearby nerves.
✔ Disc Extrusion: The most severe type—where the gel balloons out extensively or separates from the disc entirely.
Signs You May Have a Disc Injury:
Disc injuries can cause pain in more places than your back. Here’s what to watch for:
-
Lower Back Pain: Deep, aching pain that may worsen when you sit or bend.
-
Neck Pain: Stiffness and soreness that limits your ability to turn or tilt your head.
-
Leg or Foot Pain (Sciatica): Burning, tingling, or numbness that travels down your leg.
-
Muscle Weakness: In your legs, feet, or arms.
-
Loss of Balance or Coordination: Caused by nerve compression.
-
Numbness or Tingling: In your arms, hands, legs, or feet.
-
Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control: In rare but serious cases—seek immediate care.
The Frustration of Living with a Disc Injury:
Every move you make feels like a gamble. Sitting at your desk. Picking something up. Even trying to sleep.
✔ You’re limited. You can’t move freely without pain.
✔ You’re exhausted. The pain drains your energy and your focus.
✔ You’re stuck. Painkillers help, but only for a while.
✔ You’re worried. Surgery feels extreme, but what else is there?
There’s this: Real, lasting relief with chiropractic care.
