Disc Related Back Pain

Are you experiencing lower back or neck pain? If so, you may have a damaged spinal disc. Discs are the cushions between the bones of the spine (vertebrae) that enable the spine to move in various ranges of motion. A damaged disc in your back or neck can cause debilitating pain and agony. The most frequent disc problems include those in which a disc is compressed, bulges, ruptures, tears, or in which nerve roots become 'pinched' or irritated. As the injured disc is unable to cushion the vertebrae correctly, it loses its ability to absorb shock, thus putting more strain on the spine and causing further pain. As one disc becomes injured, the other healthy discs must compensate for the damaged disc. This will ultimately lead to further degeneration and misalignment of the spine. Our skilled team of NYC doctors can help distinguish what type of disc problems you may have while giving you the proper treatment to minimize and diminish your overall pain.
