Do Not Ignore Pain and Symptoms
Disc Degeneration Phases

Given the remarkable nervous system we are equipped with, we are able to detect problems before they get too serious. You will benefit from chiropractic care and treatment if:
> You are experiencing any kind of pain in your joints or skeletal structure such as your neck, back, shoulder blades, elbows, wrists, hips, knees or ankles.
> You are experiencing difficulty in walking, such as erratic movement, loss of rhythm or balance; signs of muscle weakness or other problems.
> You are experiencing problems such as numbness, tingling, burning or localized pain. Nerves in your spinal cord branch off into sensory and motor nerves. These types of sensory symptoms are not normal and may indicate a problem with the nerves in your spine.
The goal of chiropractic is to stimulate your body's own remarkable resources to help it heal and function better. Chiropractic is hands-on, drug-free health care approach. Millions of people have become healthier using chiropractic principles of healthy diet, exercise and maintenance of proper spinal function.
Chiropractic treats the underlying causes of symptoms experienced by the patient, rather than just covering up or hiding the symptoms with medications. We all use various methods to deal with pain. Some types of pain will go away with proper care such as nutrition, exercise, massage therapy, ice/heat therapy or water/hydro massage. Other types of pain require interention in the form of medical treatment.
You do not have to live with, or tolerate, reoccurring pain and discomfort. The key is to never ignore the pain because it is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong.
