Disc injuries often occur when the soft, cushion-like discs between vertebrae are subjected to abnormal stress or degeneration. Poor lifting mechanics, sudden twisting motions, or repetitive bending can all contribute to disc herniation or bulging. Long periods of sitting, especially with poor posture, place excess pressure on spinal discs, increasing the risk of injury. Age-related wear and tear can also lead to disc dehydration and thinning, reducing their ability to absorb shock. Traumatic events like auto accidents or falls may cause disc rupture or displacement. Identifying the underlying cause helps guide the most appropriate and effective treatment plan.

When a disc injury is left unaddressed, symptoms can escalate over time, causing increased pain, reduced mobility, and in some cases, permanent nerve damage. Herniated or bulging discs may place pressure on nearby nerves, leading to shooting pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. Over time, this can interfere with daily activities, sleep, and overall function. Without proper intervention, compensatory movements may strain other areas of the spine or musculoskeletal system. Some patients may face progressive spinal degeneration or require surgical correction that could have been avoided with early conservative care.

Dr Hill is great! Knowledgeable of his craft & has great techniques. The office is friendly & inviting. My only suggestion is a bit more focus on cleanliness. I understand this is a local business but the standards of cleanliness should be applicable to any health care establishment. Keep in mind care here may differ from rehabilitation received at hospitals. E M2025-04-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
