Even though it happens all the time, there still is a lot of confusion around disc herniations. A disc herniation refers to a problem with one of the cartilage cushions (discs) that sit between the bones (vertebrae) of your spine.

A spinal disc has a soft center (nucleus) encased in a tougher, rubbery exterior (annulus). Sometimes called a slip or rupture, a herniated disc occurs when some of the nucleus pushes out through a tear in the annulus. This can result in pain right where the herniation has happened, or pain that travels along a nerve to your arms or legs.

If you've been diagnosed with a disc herniation (or multiple herniations), don't stress- give us a call today at (678) 792-0213!

Almost every bone in your neck has a pair of sliding joints towards the back called facet joints, and if they become "stuck", your body will try to compensate.

The good news? You know what to do! Gentle spinal adjustments combined with daily stretching can help restore proper movement to those all too important joints, and that can help reduce those nagging aches and pains for the long term, naturally.

We believe that the first step to relief is discovering the cause of your pain. After finding the structural issue causing your pain, we can create a treatment plan designed to improve your function and reduce your pain.

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along your sciatic nerve, which starts in your lower back and travels down your hips and buttocks into your legs. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body at a time.

Sciatica usually happens when a herniated disk or bone spur puts pressure on your sciatic nerve. This can create inflammation, pain, and numbness in the affected leg.

Sometimes the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, but most cases can resolve with conservative care such as chiropractic within a few weeks. Receiving a full evaluation, diagnosis, and active treatment plan is critical to getting well as quickly as possible. If you have sciatica, call us today at (678) 792-0213 to schedule an appointment!

That stress adds up and can result in the joints of your neck not moving correctly, meaning you may soon find yourself living with a stiff neck.

That's because weakened muscular support means additional stress on your spinal joints. Over time, that extra stress can change how you move and increase the pressure on your spinal discs, which can eventually lead to neck pain.

So, here are 3 smart steps you can take. First, practice exercises that focus on strengthening and stretching the neck. Second, invest in a pillow that will keep your head neutral. Finally, book those adjustments to release tension and ensure your neck is moving correctly. Your body will thank you!
