Degenerated discs and degenerated knees are not such strange bedfellows. They are seen to be related. Fort Wayne 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 aren’t such strange-bedfellows. They are examples of musculoskeletal diseases and spinal malalignment that are related to poorer quality of life for older folks. Problems like low back pain, lumbar spinal stenosis, knee pain because of osteoarthritis, decreased lumbar lordosis (as seen on xray), and enlarged sagittal vertical alignment (as seen on xray) influence a person’s quality of life. Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis are the most influential issues for patients having a poorer quality of life. (1) Another study 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 related! A degenerated disc may be connected to a degenerated knee. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is well aware of the connection and is ready to help.

Fort Wayne chiropractic care of extruded discs may benefit regression of them and improve your quality of life.

Fort Wayne 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 went away, 15% partially resolved, and 10% did show any resolution. 90% did! Additionally, those patients whose discs resolved also reported significantly improved NRS pain scores, symptoms and disability issues. (3) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc relieves pain from extruded discs! They don’t scare us!
