Understanding bulging & herniated discs
Disc findings on imaging do not always match symptoms. Conservative care may be appropriate for some disc-related complaints, depending on the examination and neurologic findings.
Symptoms people may notice
- Back or neck pain with mechanical triggers
- Pain that radiates into an arm or leg
- Symptoms that improve or worsen with certain positions
How chiropractic evaluation fits
Dr. Keith evaluates the history, movement, involved joints and soft tissues, and neurologic findings when relevant. If the problem appears appropriate for conservative chiropractic care, he will explain the options. If not, referral or medical evaluation may be recommended.
Seek medical care promptly when needed.
Progressive weakness, bowel or bladder changes, saddle numbness, severe trauma, fever or other red flags require urgent medical evaluation.
