Hurst TX Chiropractic Clinic Discusses Herniated Discs
Herniated disc. Slipped disc. Bulging disk. Pinched nerve. You may have heard all these terms to describe severe pain felt in the back. The fact is the worst of the bunch is the herniated disc. Our chiropractor in Hurst TX may be able to help.
The discs are structures that rest comfortably between your vertebrae, like gel-filled cushions or shock absorbers. A disc can herniate through a tear in the supportive ligaments surrounding one of the discs. This can be caused by:
Sudden injury
Constant stress
Improper lifting or twisting of the spinal column
