Have You Injured a Disc?
Have you been told that you have a slipped disc or a disc injury in New Rochelle? They can vary from slight to severe, but most require the attention of a trained chiropractor. Our New Rochelle chiropractic clinic can help you understand your condition and help you develop the best treatment option for you.
The little pads that lie between your vertebrae are called the intervertebral discs; each of which has a tough outer ring and a soft gel-like center. Your discs both join and separate your vertebrae. These discs serve as a cushions or shock absorbers, so that the bones don’t make contact with each other as you move. Without discs we would literally be unable to move our upper torso.
Disc Injury New Rochelle
If you are diagnosed with a protruding disc it means that the gel is pushed out or bulging, and is asymmetrical in different places. This may result in pinching and irritation of the nerve roots at that point.
A herniated disc happens when the disc material ruptures to the point that the gel pushes outward. This can also cause pain and numbness due to the irritation of the nerves, and can be very serious in some cases.
A disc extrusion is the worst type of disc injury. What it means is that the gel balloons extensively into the area outside the vertebrae or breaks off from the disc. This tends to result in considerable back pain and limitation of range of motion.
If you’re suffering from a disc injury in call our team at Main Chiropractic & Rehab Center today. We are here to help.

I have injured my back sometime during the summer of 2002, for many years thru physical activities such as martial arts, police work & weight lifting, my Medical Doctor as well as other chiropractors told me due to my injuries (4 herniated discs & 3 bulging discs) I would no longer be able to workout with weights or participate in martial arts! I was always in pain and needed to take medication to go to sleep, Surgery was also recommended. During my initial visit I was explained by the doctors that thru chiropractic treatments (adjustments & traction) and specific strength & stretching exercises I should improve my condition. It worked!!!!...I now own & participate in my Judo & Ju-jutsu Club, work out on a regular basis and no pain medication. The care that I experienced at Main Rehabilitation Center improved the quality of my life and forever I am grateful.
"I was diagnosed with lyme disease few years ago that caused muscle stiffness, inflammation, pain and sever headaches. A couple of months under treatment, including Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Traction made me feel like a new person and gave me a new beginning on life. The quality of care that I received from the Physical Therapist, Chiropractor and Staff alike at Main Rehabilitation Center was by far superior."
