What Is Spinal Compression?
Spinal compression occurs when the vertebrae, discs, or surrounding tissues place excessive pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerves. This may lead to back or neck pain, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, muscle weakness, and reduced flexibility. Symptoms often develop gradually and may worsen without proper care.
What Are the Causes?
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Poor posture and prolonged sitting
- Degenerative disc disease or arthritis
- Spinal misalignments
- Injury or trauma
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractic care reduces pressure on the spine and improves how the neck and back move. Gentle adjustments help correct misalignments, while soft tissue therapy reduces tension and inflammation. Corrective exercises strengthen the muscles that support the spine, and decompression may be used when needed to relieve disc or nerve pressure.
