A report and clinical research has been performed over many years to assess and determine the science behind chiropractic treatment and chiropractic manual therapy.
Recently, a research study performed in the United Kingdom looked into the scientific evidence behind both the effectiveness and results of chiropractic manual adjustments and chiropractic treatment as a therapeutic option for managing pain and stiffness by assessing over “26 musculoskeletal and non musculoskeletal conditions” (2) “The authors based their conclusions on the results of systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials, widely accepted evidence-based guidelines, and randomised controlled trials not yet included in the former.” (3) It was concluded that “The most common conditions treated by chiropractors are back pain, neck pain, and headaches. 9 The best available evidence supports manipulative therapy as a reasonable option for many of these complaints. Manipulative therapy also holds potential value for the treatment of a variety of extremity conditions.” (3) |

SYMPTOMS
In some people this degenerative process is not associated with pain, while in others degenerative disc disease can cause neck and back pain, stiffness, and soreness. Degenerative discs can rupture, leading to arm or leg pain if the disc pinches nerves. The process of degeneration causes discs to gradually lose height, form spurs, and cause narrowing around the nerves, which can also lead to arm and leg pain
MEDICATIONS
Over the counter medications: The pain and discomfort caused by degenerative disc disease should be treated initially by medications such as Tyleno and anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which include medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. However, some studies have indicated that NSAIDs may inhibit bone healing, so consult your doctor in taking these anti- inflammatories.
PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFERED AT CHIROCURE
Stretching and strengthening exercises may be beneficial in decreasing neck and back pain caused by a herniated disc.
CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS
In cases where medications and therapy have failed to provide relief, corticosteroid injections may be indicated.
PREVENTATIVE CARE OFFERED AT CHIROCURE
Ongoing chiropractic adjustments to prevent the disc becoming less flexible and more prone to injury. Chiropractic care will reduce pain and dysfunction. Avoid smoking, repetitive trauma and excessive weight gain.
