Healthy Disc (Figure A) Injured Disc (Figure B)

A healthy disc has a spongy, gel-like center (nucleus) and a tough outer ring (annulus). The vertebrae (spinal bones) rock back and forth and rotate on the discs, allowing you to move easily (figure A above) If these vertebrae are out of their normal alignment, and are causing stress on the disc, that vertebrae must be corrected and adjusted so that it can heal (figure B above). Rehabilitation and proper exercise are also needed to strengthen the spine when chiropractic-based correction has been achieved. At Broomall Total Health Center, patients enjoy the convenience of both chiropractic treatments and physical therapy. We invite you to see us soon.
