Gresham OR, Great Health Chiropractic and Dr. Jeffrey Bratten, DC are pleased to announce that slipped disc pain can be overcome with the use of chiropractic procedures. The pain of compressed, bulging or herniated disc extends into surrounding tissue and nerve roots. The Gresham chiropractor office team identifies the location and severity of the disc problem in order to design a plan for therapy. No drugs or surgical procedures are utilized in chiropractic therapy.

A slipped disc is a not-uncommon condition where the soft cushions known as discs bulge into nearby tissue. Bulging discs cause pressure on the nerve roots and surrounding muscle tissue. The pressure can be interpreted by the brain as pain. The pressure can also cause muscle weakness near the site of the slipped disc as well as in the extremities.

A first step in improving the health of the slipped disc is usually to identify the location and the severity of the condition. It may be necessary to employ digital imaging studies to determine the scope of the damage. A physical examination is another factor in collecting data. The information which Dr. Bratten collects is used to design a therapy plan which is natural and non-invasive.

Other techniques which help to bring pain relief for patients include exercises to strengthen supportive muscles and connective tissues. The doctor also suggests posture improvement to help prevent further deterioration of the spinal alignment. The alignment of the spine is improved by decompression of the discs. A spinal adjustment is one of the measures which provides relief from disc pain.
