Nearly every adult today has experienced some form of back pain in their lifetime. Whether the pain was caused by lifting something awkwardly or from strenuous activity. More often than not this pain will subside after a period of rest, if it is purely muscular pain. However, spinal disc injuries cause more of an extreme pain and are usually described in many different ways. The pain experienced by a spinal disc injury has also been compared to the pain of child birth. The understanding of what the discs in our back do and how they work are extremely important in treating spinal disc injuries.
What is the purpose of Spinal Discs?
Situated in between our vertebrae are pads called the intervertebral discs. These discs contain a gel-like soft center and a stronger outer shell. They are attached to our vertebrae and act as separators. These discs are extremely effective shock-absorbers which offer a guard to prevent the bones rubbing against each other when we move. The discs in our spine keep it strong and supple.
A protruding disc occurs when the gel in the disc begins to push out against the ligamentous wall of the disc, but does not compromise or tear the wall. Two thirds of pain free adults have one or more protuding discs within their spine. A herniated disc is when the gel in the disc pushes out and starts to tear through the first layers of the ligamentous wall. This movement of gel can cause irritation of the nerve, inflammation and often severe pain.
One of the more serious conditions is called disc extrusion, sometimes known as a ruptured disc. This occurs when the gel of the disc breaks all the way through the ligamentous wall. When this gel leaks out of the disc it can cause extreme back pain and significantly reduced movement.

Consumer Reports has named Chiropractic as the top-rated treatment for the relief of back pain in survey results gathered from over 14,000 people. Chiropractors across the country are honored to receive this important endorsement from America’s most trusted rating organization.
The Survey
The Consumer Reports survey queried 14,000 of their subscribers who had experienced lower back pain in the previous year and had never had surgery for the condition.
The survey was with low back pain which is one of the most common physical ailments with just over 80 percent of people in the United States reporting that they have been bothered by this discomfort at some point in their life. For some 50 percent of these people, the pain has severely limited their activities, caused sleep loss, and interfered with their sex life and the ability to control their weight. Another 50 percent of this group indicated that the pain was severe enough to limit their daily activities for one week or longer. Recurrence of back pain sometime during the year was reported by 88 percent of these people.
The Results
Chiropractic treatment received the highest endorsement for both pain relief and consumer satisfaction of all modalities surveyed. At 59 percent, Chiropractic received the top marks from people who were asked if they were “highly satisfied” with their treatment.
“For the treatment of back pain, few options are better than Chiropractic,” says Glenn Manceaux, D.C., a past president of the American Chiropractic Association. “As shown in this thorough survey, Chiropractic spinal manipulation is an evidence-based and effective treatment for lower back pain and other musculoskeletal injuries. Coupled with the high levels of patient satisfaction, patients should turn to Chiropractic as their first choice.”
An interesting note from the survey is that many of the persons with lower back pain had sought help from five or six different sources in their attempt to find relief. In the end, the majority of these people found the greatest relief and satisfaction from the drug-free, non-invasive treatment options provided by a chiropractor. More frequently than not, low back issues can be reduced or resolved via a combination of Chiropractic manipulation, rehabilitative exercises and lifestyle counseling.
