DEGENERATED DISCS AND KNEE PAIN REDUCE QUALITY OF LIFE;
CHIROPRACTIC IMPROVES IT
Degenerated discs and degenerated knees aren’t
such strange-bedfellows. They are examples
of musculoskeletal diseases and spinal malalignment that are linked to a lesser quality of life
for older folks. Issues like low back pain, lumbar
spinal stenosis, knee pain because of osteoarthritis, lessened
lumbar lordosis (as seen on xray), and increased
sagittal vertical alignment (visible on xray) influence
a person’s quality of life. Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis are
the most significant issues for patients having a lesser
quality of life. (1) Another report links the disc height of the L1/L2,
L2/L3, and L3/L4 to knee pain with L2/L3 being the most strongly related.
(2) The old “Dem Bones” song holds true! Everything is connected!
A
degenerated disc may be connected to a
degenerated knee. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center understands
the connection and is here to help.

CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Extruded Discs May Regress!
Extruded discs - discs whose jellylike centers leak out - tend to be a bit worrisome
than disc bulges to their sufferers, but in a new study
they regressed with conservative, non-surgical care! At about 17 months of
care, 75% of extrusions completely regressed, 15%
partially regressed, and 10% did show any resolution.
90% did! Additionally, those patients whose discs regressed
also reported significantly improved NRS pain scores,
symptoms and disability issues. (3) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center relieves pain from
extruded discs! They don’t
scare us!
Listen to this discussion about care of the disc extrusion with Cox® Technic on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr.
Michael Johnson as Dr.
Ted Siciliano shares this case of a disc extrusion in a weight lifter he positively
