September 2019 Healthy News: Chiropractic Help for Extruded Discs and Degenerated Discs & Knees

Name: Rosenberg Wellness Center
Address: USA

Degenerated discs and degenerated knees are not such unlikely companions. They are seen to be related. New York City patients with a loss of disc height due to disc degeneration often also have knee pain related to degeneration.

DEGENERATED DISCS AND KNEE PAIN REDUCE QUALITY OF LIFE; CHIROPRACTIC IMPROVES IT

Degenerated discs and degenerated knees are not such strange-bedfellows. They are examples of musculoskeletal diseases and spinal malalignment that are correlated with poorer quality of life for older folks. Issues like low back pain, lumbar spinal stenosis, knee pain due to osteoarthritis, lessened lumbar lordosis (visible on xray), and increased sagittal vertical alignment (as seen on xray) influence a person’s quality of life. Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis are the most influential issues for patients having a poorer quality of life. (1) Another study links the disc height of the L1/L2, L2/L3, and L3/L4 to knee pain with L2/L3 being the most strongly linked. (2) The old “Dem Bones” song holds true! Everything is connected! A degenerated disc may be connected to a degenerated knee. Rosenberg Wellness Center is well aware of the connection and is here to help.

New York City chiropractic care of extruded discs may help them regress and improve your quality of life.

New York City CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Extruded Discs May Regress!

Extruded discs - discs whose jellylike core leaks out – are apt to be a bit scarier than disc bulges to their owners, but in a new study they regressed with conservative, non-surgical care! At about 17 months of care, 75% of extrusions completely went away, 15% partially regressed, and 10% did show any regression. 90% did! Plus, those patients whose discs resolved also reported significantly improved NRS pain scores, symptoms and disability issues. (3) Rosenberg Wellness Center helps extruded discs find relief! They don’t scare us!

Listen to this discussion about care of the disc extrusion with Cox® Technic on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as Dr. Ted Siciliano shares this case of a disc extrusion in a weight lifter he positively helped.
