Clayton Family Chiropractic

The intervertebral disc is a common culprit in spine related problems.  Its function is widely misunderstood.  Your disc is a small cartilage pad with a jell center (kinda like a jelly doughnut.)  When your disc bulges and the vertebrae misaligns, it pinches on nerves as they leave your spine.  This can cause problems in other areas of your body.  Leg pain, arm pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and inability to go to the restroom properly can all be traced to nerve pressure as it leaves your spine.

The traditional approach to disc problems often ignores spinal function and position.  Conservative chiropractic care is safer and often more effective than back surgery.

The chiropractic approach to disc problems is to restore better motion and position to the spine and the joints.

The care program designed for you is our best recommendation, not just for pain relief, but to return better function to your body.
