The discs between your vertebrae serve as shock absorbers, offering flexibility, mobility, and support for your spine. According to Dr. Jason Winseck from Cascades Laser Pain Center in Sterling, VA, the NIH estimates that nearly 80% of the American population will experience some form of lower back pain during their life.
Which Painful Spinal Issues Are Treatable?
While many people living and working in and around Sterling, Virginia, experience chronic spine pain simply due to age-related wear and tear, a traumatic event or injury may also cause this type of discomfort that is often disruptive to your daily routine. The following are the most common medical conditions and problems our experienced chiropractor can help manage –
- Chronic Back Pain – This type of pain may manifest in various ways, including dull aches, shooting pains, burning sensations, and even numbness. Typical reasons for intermittent or persistent back pain include the following –
- Sciatica.
- Joint Dysfunction or Disc Degeneration.
- Scoliosis, to name a few.
- Disc Problems - the discs that separate the spine's vertebrae can potentially tear, herniate, or deteriorate from various causes ranging from trauma to the natural loss of fluid that happens as a function of aging. Disc conditions cause a variety of painful symptoms.
- A bulging disc happens when its outer layer weakens, allowing the inner core to stick or protrude beyond what is considered its normal position—stretching or protruding against this outer layer.
- A herniated disc breaks through its protective outer layer.
- Facet Joint Syndrome refers to a specific medical condition in which there is insufficient lubrication between the spine's vertebrae, resulting in painful movement to the affected areas.
- Spinal Stenosis refers to a specific condition in which the spinal canal narrows, diminishing the passageways through which nerves transverse.
- Pinched Nerves – trauma, injury, or a medical condition that affects your joints or nearby nerves can cause intense pain.
