Degenerated discs and degenerated knees are not such strange bedfellows. They are seen to be related. Montreal 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 are not such strange-bedfellows. They are examples of musculoskeletal diseases and spinal malalignment that are contribute to a lesser quality of life for older folks. Concerns like low back pain, lumbar spinal stenosis, knee pain due to osteoarthritis, lessened lumbar lordosis (visible on xray), and enlarged sagittal vertical alignment (as seen on xray) affect a person’s quality of life. Lumbar spinal stenosis and knee osteoarthritis are the most influential issues for patients having a lesser 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 correlated. (2) The old “Dem Bones” song holds true! Everything is connected! A degenerated disc may be related to a degenerated knee. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is well aware of the connection and is prepared to help.

Montreal chiropractic care of extruded discs may help them regress and improve your quality of life.

Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Extruded Discs May Regress!

Extruded discs - discs whose gelatinous core leaks out – tend to be a bit scarier than disc bulges to their sufferers, but in a new report they regressed with conservative, non-surgical care! At about 17 months of care, 75% of extrusions completely regressed, 15% partially went away, and 10% did show any resolution. 90% did! Additionally, those patients whose discs regressed also reported significantly improved NRS pain scores, symptoms and disability issues. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic relieves pain from extruded discs! They don’t scare us!
