Could your back pain be coming from a disc problem?

Not all back pain is the same. When a herniated or bulging disc irritates a nerve in the lower back, it can cause symptoms that go beyond pain.

🚩 3 signs to pay attention to:
• Pain that radiates into the buttock or leg
• Numbness or tingling
• Muscle weakness or spasms

When these symptoms travel down the leg, it may be a sign of sciatica.

Understanding what's causing your symptoms is an important first step toward finding the right treatment. If you've been dealing with recurring back or leg pain, don't just keep treating the symptoms—get your condition properly evaluated.

📩 Schedule a consultation today to learn more about what's causing your pain and whether non-surgical treatment options may be right for you.

Does your back pain keep coming back? There may be a reason.

When back pain is recurring, simply treating the pain each time it flares up may not address what’s causing it.

Herniated and bulging discs can place pressure on nearby nerves, potentially contributing to pain, numbness, tingling, or symptoms that travel into the legs.

Understanding what’s happening inside your spine is an important first step toward finding the right treatment.

In this video, we take a closer look at what may be happening with the discs in your lower back and why recurring pain deserves a closer evaluation.

What causes spinal stenosis?

Spinal stenosis typically develops gradually over time as the spine undergoes natural age-related changes. While aging is a common factor, several conditions can contribute to the narrowing of the spinal canal, including:

✔️ Arthritis and bone spurs
✔️ Degenerative disc disease
✔️ Herniated or bulging discs
✔️ Thickened spinal ligaments
✔️ Previous injuries or spinal changes

As the spinal canal narrows, it can place pressure on nearby nerves—leading to pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty walking.

In Part 2 of our series, we explain the most common causes of spinal stenosis and why identifying the underlying issue is essential for choosing the right treatment.

If you're experiencing persistent back pain, leg pain, or symptoms that worsen when standing or walking, don't ignore them. Early evaluation may help you find relief before your condition progresses.
