Did You Know...
Odds are you know someone who has experienced a disc bulge, herniation, or "slipped" disc. So, why are these injuries so common? The short answer is a lack of movement. You may have covered a lot of things in health class, but the discs lacking a good blood supply to keep them healthy and a lack of movement equating to a lack of nutrients likely didn't make the list. Movement is medicine for the spine. Needless to say, if you're feeling some stiffness and soreness in your back or body, it's time for an adjustment.
Why It Matters
Movement is how your spinal discs bring in nutrients, and it's those nutrients that help you maintain the health of your discs to limit pain and inflammation.
Next Steps
Remember, your spine's discs are your body's "shock absorbers," and keeping them healthy is yet another reason to make sure you get that daily dose of movement. There's no wrong way to do it! In fact, research has proven that movement-based care like adjustments can be incredibly effective at helping you heal. Make time for your self-care.
