Herniated Disc

Each spinal disc has two parts – a soft, gelatin-like inner portion and a tough outer ring. Suffering trauma to any part of the back or neck can cause a disc to slip out of place. Performing daily tasks can be difficult and nearly impossible if the slipped disc becomes severe. It’s best to visit Dr. James Huggins, Jr. at Carolina Chiropractic Center before it reaches this point.

A slipped disc can occur when the disc becomes weak. Certain motions such as bending over to pick something up off the floor, or picking up a young child may also cause a slipped disc. Symptoms of a slipped disc include pain and numbness on one side of the body, pain that extends to the arms and legs, and/or unexplained muscle weakness. Once Dr. James Huggins, Jr. diagnoses your condition through an X-ray, treatment options will be discussed.
