When the spurs protrude from the holes on the side of the neck where the nerves depart (foramen) or even the spinal cord canal, that is known as spinal stenosis.

What is Herniated or Bulging Disc?

A disc is a jelly-like fluid-filled sac that functions as a cushion between the bones of your neck (vertebrae). Your discs change as you get older, becoming brittle and dry. Additionally, since the discs dry out with age, the change in height between the vertebrae decreases, inducing changes in posture and operation. In younger adults, the middle of the disc (nucleus) is held by many disc rings (envision a cross-section of a tree trunk). With significant or minor injuries, poor posture, and pressure, these rings can rupture outside the disc nucleus. Since the nucleus reaches the outer borders, the disc can start.

In more severe cases, the disc can become herniated, further pressing into the spaces where nerves are leaving. Symptoms can vary from localized to numbness/tingling to a specific portion of the hands, arm, or shoulder. In severe cases, a complete absence of sensation, muscle weakness, and paralysis of an area of the upper extremity can occur.

Changes in position, strength, and range of motion can affect the positioning of this disc and just how much bulging or herniation is happening.

How Chiropractic Care Helps
