Disc Degeneration May Co-Exist in Lower Back and Neck

neck disc pain spine pictureHave a degenerated disc in the lower back? You may also suffer a degenerated disc in your neck. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation finds this is most often the situation in its Carrolltown chiropractic practice and we strive to lessen both neck pain and lower back pain due to a degenerated disc.

Degenerative disc disease diminishes the disc's flexibility and size. This leads to 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 a single segment of the spine as it turns out.

Researchers examined patients with a lower back disc herniation to healthy volunteers. 98% of those with lower back disc herniations were discovered 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 haven't had an accompanying neck pain.
