Neck pain isn’t just a minor inconvenience—it can affect everything from turning your head while driving to getting a good night’s sleep. One common cause? Cervical disc lesions. At North Texas Injury and Wellness, we see it all the time, and we’re here to help you understand what’s going on and how to get relief.
What Are Cervical Disc Lesions?
Between each of your neck’s vertebrae are small, gel-like discs that act like cushions, absorbing shock and allowing smooth movement. When one of these discs gets damaged—whether from wear and tear, injury, or just bad luck—it’s called a cervical disc lesion. This damage can cause the disc to bulge or swell, putting pressure on nearby nerves.
What Does It Feel Like?
Cervical disc lesions can show up in different ways. Some people feel neck pain that shoots down into their shoulder or arm. Others might notice tingling, numbness, or even weakness in their arms or hands. If any of this sounds familiar, it might be time to get it checked out.
Why Chiropractic Care Works
When you’re in pain, it’s easy to reach for painkillers or think about surgery, but those aren’t always the best long-term solutions. Chiropractic care offers a natural, hands-on approach to treating neck pain. Studies have shown it can be more effective and less expensive than traditional treatments like physical therapy or medications. Our focus is on getting to the root of the problem, not just covering up the symptoms.
