March 06, 2018

We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal discs age. Now, that’s something your Concord, NC chiropractor can help with though! Spinal discs show aging when they start degenerating. Disc degeneration in a Concord, NC spine may first be revealed once you feel some back pain. For some, disc degeneration proceeds unnoticed until years afterward. New research suggests that disc degeneration for any of us in Concord, NC may begin as early as the teen years. Pure Chiropractic is all for relieving any pain and preventing any degeneration possible with nutrition and Concord, NC chiropractic care.

Concord, NC DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th Decades of Life

In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification defines levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is severe degeneration. Researchers studied the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is most common in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It is stated to be “natural” to see disc degeneration start in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That means that disc degeneration begins in the teen years of life!? Does that shock any of our Concord, NC chiropractic patients? Pure Chiropractic isn’t shocked, necessarily, but Pure Chiropractic is prepared to help the teen Concord, NC back pain sufferer. Do you have any Concord, NC teens at home with you? Do they ever mention having back pain or neck pain?
