Chiropractic & Traction Care for Disc Injuries
Living in Park Slope means a lot of walking, commuting, working at a desk, carrying kids, groceries, and laptops—often all in the same day. Over time, these everyday stresses can take a toll on the spine, especially the spinal discs. Disc injuries such as bulging or herniated discs are a common reason people in Brooklyn experience ongoing neck pain, low back pain, or pain that travels into the arms or legs.
Chiropractic care combined with spinal traction offers a gentle, non-surgical solution for disc injuries—right here in Park Slope.
What Is a Disc Injury?
Spinal discs sit between the vertebrae and act as cushions that allow the spine to move and absorb impact. When a disc becomes compressed or damaged, it can press on nearby nerves. This often causes symptoms like stiffness, sharp pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness. Long hours sitting, poor posture, lifting children, or repetitive movements can all contribute to disc problems—especially in a busy Brooklyn lifestyle.
Community Chiropractic & Acupuncture of Park Slope focuses on improving spinal alignment and mobility. Gentle adjustments help reduce stress on the injured disc and surrounding joints, allowing the spine to function more efficiently. By restoring proper movement, chiropractic care helps decrease inflammation, reduce nerve irritation, and support the body’s natural healing process.
Rather than masking pain, chiropractic care addresses the underlying cause of disc injuries, helping patients get real, lasting relief.
Spinal traction is frequently used alongside chiropractic care for disc injuries. Traction gently stretches the spine, creating space between the vertebrae. This can help:
- Relieve pressure on spinal discs
- Reduce nerve compression
- Improve blood flow to injured tissues
- Promote disc rehydration and healing
Many Park Slope patients find traction especially helpful for reducing radiating pain and stiffness, making everyday activities like walking, sitting, or commuting more comfortable.
