Degenerated discs and degenerated knees are not such strange bedfellows. They are seen to be related. St Peters patients with a loss of disc height due to disc degeneration often also have knee pain related to degeneration.

DEGENERATED DISCS AND KNEE PAIN REDUCE QUALITY OF LIFE; CHIROPRACTIC IMPROVES IT

Degenerated discs and degenerated knees are not such unlikely companions. They are examples of musculoskeletal diseases and spinal malalignment that are correlated with poorer quality of life for older folks. Problems like low back pain, lumbar spinal stenosis, knee pain because of osteoarthritis, decreased lumbar lordosis (visible on xray), and enlarged sagittal vertical alignment (as seen on xray) affect a person’s quality of life. Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis are the most significant issues for patients having a lower 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 linked. (2) The old “Dem Bones” song holds true! Everything is related! A degenerated disc may be related to a degenerated knee. Old Mill Chiropractic is well aware of the connection and is here to help.

St Peters chiropractic care of extruded discs may benefit regression of them and improve your quality of life.

St Peters CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Extruded Discs May Regress!

Extruded discs - discs whose jellylike centers leak out – are apt to be a bit worrisome than disc bulges to their sufferers, but in a recent report they regressed with conservative, non-surgical care! At about 17 months of care, 75% of extrusions completely regressed, 15% partially went away, and 10% did show any regression. 90% did! Additionally, those patients whose discs regressed also stated that they had significantly improved NRS pain scores, symptoms and disability issues. (3) Old Mill Chiropractic relieves pain from extruded discs! They don’t scare us!

Listen to this discussion on 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 helped.
