Here in Oregon, we like to hike, mountain bike, ski, raft, and paddle our way through our beautiful state. With all that physical activity, it is no surprise that one of the most common reasons people in the Eugene and Springfield area seek treatment with the chiropractors at Back2Strength is for lower back pain. There are many causes of lower back pain, one of which is a herniated disc.
Herniated (or “slipped”) discs are commonly responsible for pain, numbness, and weakness in the back, neck, legs, and arms. As painful and challenging as they are in some cases, other people may not even realize they have a herniated disc until a spinal image is taken. Regardless of the degree of pain one may be experiencing, herniated discs are worth addressing as soon as possible, as they can progress and lead to serious nerve damage if left untreated.
