DISC INJURY

Are you dealing with a disc injury? At Axiom Chiropractic we practice the Gonstead Technique which was designed specifically to deal with correcting vertebral disc injuries.

The job of the disc is to allow movement between each vertebra as well as give the vertebral column a resilient structure.

The discs are pads between the vertebrae and consist of a spongy substance surrounded by fibers of cartilage. When there is misalignment of a vertebra, there is uneven pressure on the disc causing it to swell and protrude, often referred to as a slipped, herniated or ruptured disc. The condition of the disc is the key to the patient’s health problem in many cases.
