We can compare spinal disks to a sponge. When a sponge is dry, it is hard and can crack easily. Very similar to this is how most disc problems begin. The spinal discs have poor blood supply and they depend on the circulation of joint fluid to bring in the nutrients as well as get rid of the waste. If this pumping action becomes disabled, the joint will lose its regular motion. That is when the health of the disc begins to deteriorate.
A common misconception of discs is that they slip. However, discs cannot “slip” because of the way they are attached to the vertebrae. An injury or trauma to the disc can cause for it to bulge or herniate. In worst case scenarios the disc could even rupture. Any of these problems can cause too much pressure on the spinal cord as well as the nerve roots causing interference with their function.
When you seek chiropractic assistance, the chiropractor will work towards restoring motion and enhancing the alignment of your spinal joints, ultimately leading to improved spinal function. This improvement plays a vital role in reducing inflammation and alleviating disc bulging. By decreasing inflammation, the healing process initiates within the soft tissue.
Choosing chiropractic care and treatments offers a preferred alternative to risky surgeries and potential reliance on pain medications with their associated side effects. Many patients have discovered remarkable relief through non-invasive chiropractic methods, effectively sidestepping more significant health concerns in the process.

Non-surgical chiropractic spinal decompression, also known as "Ring Dinger," utilizes a careful stretching technique to correct and alleviate pressure on pinched nerves, as well as herniated, bulging, or injured spinal discs.
These discs act as gel-like cushions between the bones, maintaining the spine's integrity. By relieving pressure from the spinal structure, interferences are removed, allowing for a healthy flow of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids throughout the spinal discs, facilitating natural healing.
Conditions such as back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, and injured spinal nerve roots can be effectively treated with spinal decompression at Comfort Chiropractic & Acupuncture, a renowned chiropractic center in Raleigh, NC.
