Back Pain: Restore Your Mobility and Quality of Life
Back discomfort is the most common pain complaint in the United States, with disc problems being a leading cause. At Active Spine and Joint Institute, our expert team in South Jersey specializes in diagnosing and treating painful joint and spine conditions that affect your mobility and quality of life. We offer non-surgical, drug-free treatment options for chronic joint pain and neuropathy, ensuring you get back to living your life pain-free.
Understanding Spinal Discs
Your spine is cushioned by 23 rubbery spinal discs, each about 4 centimeters in diameter and less than a half-inch thick. These discs have a gel-like core (nucleus pulposus) wrapped in tough fibrocartilage (annulus fibrosus), providing essential shock absorption, stability, and protection.
What Can Go Wrong with Spinal Discs?
Herniated Disc: When the inner gel pushes through a weakened outer layer, it can compress nearby nerves, causing pain and inflammation.
Bulging Disc: The disc flattens and protrudes, potentially pressing on nerves and causing pain, numbness, and weakness.
Degenerative Disc Disease: Aging and repetitive motions dry out and thin the discs, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility.
