Not all back pain is the same.
A strained muscle can heal with rest, but disc problems often involve pressure on the nerves. When that pressure is ignored, symptoms can worsen and lead many people toward injections, medications, or surgery before safer options are explored.
Here are 5 warning signs your back pain could be disc related:
➡️ Radiating pain that travels down the leg or arm
➡️ Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
➡️ Muscle weakness or trouble with coordination
➡️ Pain that worsens when sitting for long periods
➡️ Sharp, burning, or electric pain instead of a dull ache
These symptoms are often linked to nerve compression in the spine.
Non-surgical spinal decompression is designed to reduce pressure on the discs and nerves without injections or surgery. When combined with upper cervical spinal care, the goal is to support healing by addressing the source of the problem, not just managing symptoms.
If you are noticing these signs, early evaluation matters.
Before considering epidural injections, opioid medications, or invasive spine surgery, make sure you understand all your non-surgical options.
