🦴 Why Lumbar Discs Matter (L1–L5)
Your lumbar spine (L1–L5) carries most of your body weight and protects the nerves that supply your hips, legs, and feet. These discs act as shock absorbers, allowing you to move, bend, lift, and walk with stability.
When lumbar discs lose hydration, height, or alignment, pressure can build on surrounding nerves — often felt far beyond the lower back.
⚠️ Lumbar disc stress may be linked to:
• Persistent lower back pain
• Sciatic nerve pain into the hip, leg, or foot
• Numbness or tingling
• Weakness or reduced mobility
• Pain with sitting, standing, or lifting
🩻 Chiropractic care and non-surgical spinal decompression are designed to reduce disc pressure, restore movement, and support healthier disc function — addressing the cause, not just the symptoms.
📞 If back pain is limiting your life, a thorough assessment can help identify whether lumbar disc involvement is the missing piece.
