Disc Degeneration May Co-Exist in Lower Back and Neck

Have a degenerated disc in the lower back? You may also suffer a degenerated disc in your neck. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic finds this is often the situation in its McHenry 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 one part of the spine it seems.

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 have not had any neck pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is fully experienced in relieving back pain due to disc degeneration. For example, OrthoIllinois Chiropractic treats lower back pain patients with herniations and degenerated discs - as well as neck pain patients who have the same - all the time in McHenry.
