Condition
Disc Degeneration
Disc degeneration is a finding on imaging. Patients here have trained through bulging discs with a plan. We treat the person who has to sit, lift, and sleep.
How CIHW approaches disc degeneration
Disc Degeneration in this institute
Mechanical assessment, then a mix of chiropractic, rehab, and load management. Surgery is not our product; knowing when someone else should see you is part of the job.
First visit for disc degeneration
- 01The imaging you already have, and what you can still sit, lift, and walk.
- 02Mechanical exam that may not match the MRI headline.
- 03Load management and rehab; a surgical conversation only if the exam and the image agree it is time.
A disc on MRI is not the whole person
Degenerative disc is a common finding with age. Plenty of people train with a bulge when the mechanical exam and the symptoms line up with a loading plan. We treat the person who has to work in Kane County, not the radiology caption.

Does disc mean surgery?
Not by itself. Progressive weakness, intractable pain, or red flags change that. We will say when someone else should see you.
