Do you struggle with back or neck pain that just won’t quit? You’re not imagining it, and you’re definitely not alone. In many cases, that persistent discomfort can be traced back to problems with your spinal discs.
Think of spinal discs as the cushions between your vertebrae. They absorb the daily impact from walking, lifting, and yes, even just sitting at your desk. When discs become damaged or shift out of place, the pain can be sharp, persistent, and downright limiting.
What’s Really Going on With Your Discs?
A bulging disc pushes outward like a tire with a sidewall bulge, which can irritate nearby nerves and cause serious discomfort. A herniated disc is more severe; disc material actually slips out and presses directly on nerve roots. Then there’s degenerative disc disease, where years of wear and tear break down the disc structure, leading to stiffness and reduced mobility that can make you feel older than your years.
For many people, this translates into sciatica, numbness in the arms or legs, and the frustrating loss of simple activities they once took for granted, like gardening, playing with grandkids, or even just getting a good night’s sleep.
Dr. Freedman’s Approach to Your Problem
Instead of jumping straight to surgery or masking symptoms with medication, East Brunswick Chiropractor Dr. Freedman looks at how spinal misalignments may be adding stress to your discs. Through gentle, customized adjustments designed to restore proper vertebral positioning, pressure on irritated discs is reduced, so your body can function and heal more naturally.
With more than 45 years of experience and millions of adjustments performed, Dr. Freedman has helped countless East Brunswick residents avoid surgery and reduce their reliance on pain medications.
Prevention: Your Best Defense
Just as proper wheel alignment prevents uneven tire wear on your car, regular spinal “tune-ups” can prevent small disc issues from becoming major setbacks. Maintaining spinal alignment reduces unnecessary stress on your discs before pain even develops.
Many patients find that periodic adjustments help them stay active, sleep better, and move with confidence without constantly worrying about their back giving out.
Whether you’re dealing with recent pain or chronic discomfort that’s been dragging on for months (or even years), there’s hope. You don’t have to just “live with it.”
Your Path to Natural Relief
Disc problems don’t have to dictate your life. Safe, non-invasive chiropractic care may provide the comfort and mobility you’ve been searching for, without surgery or long-term medication use, and without giving up the activities that matter most to you.
After more than 40 years serving East Brunswick, Dr. Freedman knows how to help you reclaim your comfort and get back to living your best life.
