It&#8217;s your body&#8217;s way of letting you know it\u2019s been pushed past its limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with the proper care and a little time, you can get your life back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it Matters:<br><\/strong>The most common type of spinal disc problem is called a bulge or herniation, and these injuries most commonly occur between 45-65 years of age when discs are naturally more dehydrated and stiffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A disc bulge or herniation occurs when a disc&#8217;s inner portion is trying to (or has) pushed through its tough outer layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this happens, it can cause pain in two different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"small wp-block-list\"><li>If the disc bulges far enough to press on a spinal nerve, you may notice pain that travels down your arms or legs.<\/li><li>If the inside of your disc pushes through the outer layer, it could also cause severe inflammation resulting in pain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next Steps:<br><\/strong>The good news is that your spine is incredibly resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has proven that movement-based care, such as spinal adjustments and spinal rehab, are incredibly effective at helping you heal from spinal disc injuries. In fact, exercises that &#8220;centralize&#8221; your spinal disc may be able to prevent future episodes of sciatica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have spinal pain or pain that travels down your arm or leg, let us know.
