September 2019 Healthy News: Chiropractic Help for Extruded Discs and Degenerated Discs & Knees
Degenerated discs and degenerated knees aren’t such unlikely companions. They are cases of musculoskeletal diseases and spinal malalignment that are related to a lesser quality of life for older folks. Concerns like low back pain, lumbar spinal stenosis, knee pain because of osteoarthritis, lessened lumbar lordosis (as seen on xray), and enlarged sagittal vertical alignment (as seen on xray) affect a person’s quality of life. Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis are the most influential issues for patients having a lower quality of life. (1) Another report links the disc height of the L1/L2, L2/L3, and L3/L4 to knee pain with L2/L3 being the most strongly linked. (2) The old “Dem Bones” song holds true! Everything is connected! A degenerated disc may be related to a degenerated knee. Most Chiropractic Clinic understands the connection and is ready to help.
Murfreesboro CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Extruded Discs May Regress!
Extruded discs - discs whose jellylike centers leak out – are apt to be a bit worrisome than disc bulges to their sufferers, but in a new study they regressed with conservative, non-surgical care! At about 17 months of care, 75% of extrusions completely went away, 15% partially regressed, and 10% did show any regression. 90% did! Plus, those patients whose discs regressed also reported significantly improved NRS pain scores, symptoms and disability issues. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic helps extruded discs find relief! They don’t scare us!
Listen to this discussion about care of the disc extrusion with Cox® Technic on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as Dr. Ted Siciliano shares this case of a disc extrusion in a weight lifter he positively helped.
