Disc Injuries
Are you struggling with persistent back pain that seems to worsen with movement or certain activities? Do you experience shooting pain, tingling, or numbness in your arms or legs? These could be signs of a disc injury, a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
Active Medical Services, we understand the challenges associated with disc injuries, and we’re here to offer effective treatments to help you find relief and reclaim your quality of life.
Some of the most common disc injuries we treat include:
- Herniated Disc: A condition where the inner material of the disc leaks out through a tear in the outer layer, causing irritation of nearby nerves.
- Bulging Disc: Similar to a herniated disc, but the outer layer of the disc remains intact, causing it to bulge outwards and potentially compress nearby nerves.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: A condition characterized by the breakdown of the spinal discs over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
- Disc Protrusion: A condition where a portion of the disc protrudes into the spinal canal, causing compression of the spinal cord or nerves.

Effective Treatments for Disc Injuries
At Active Medical Services, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments to address disc injuries and alleviate pain and discomfort.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective way to realign the spine and relieve pressure on compressed nerves. Our chiropractors use gentle, hands-on techniques to restore proper spinal alignment and improve overall function.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves. This therapy can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote healing in individuals with disc injuries.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can help alleviate muscle tension and spasms associated with disc injuries, providing relief from pain and discomfort. Our licensed massage therapists specialize in techniques that target the muscles of the back, neck, and shoulders, promoting relaxation and healing.
Regenerative Medicine Treatments
For more severe disc injuries, we offer regenerative medicine treatments such as human cellular tissue injections and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. These treatments harness the body’s natural healing abilities to repair damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain.
Understanding Herniated Discs
A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through the tough outer layer.
This can result from sudden trauma, repetitive stress, or age-related degeneration. When a disc herniates, it may press on nearby nerves, leading to a variety of symptoms and discomfort.
Some of the symptoms of a herniated disc may include:
- Back or neck pain
- Radiating pain
- Numbness and tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Loss of reflexes
At Active Medical Services, we specialize in diagnosing and treating herniated discs to help our patients find relief from their symptoms and improve their overall quality of life.
