Degenerative disc care in Decatur, GA

Total Health & Injury Specialist offers evaluation and care planning for people with degenerative disc disease. If back or neck symptoms are affecting your daily movement, call (404) 734-9740 to discuss a visit with Dr. Teresa Jackson.

How symptoms affect your day

The practice’s existing patient information describes pain that may occur with sitting, bending, lifting, twisting or standing. Some people notice pins and needles, changes in sensation or reduced flexibility; others have few symptoms.

Describe the activities that bring on discomfort and what has changed in your movement. Your symptoms and examination findings help guide the discussion about a suitable plan.

Discussing your care options

The office considers joint movement, muscle spasms, posture, and back or neck discomfort when planning care. Its services include chiropractic adjustments, supportive therapies and therapeutic exercise.

Spinal decompression is another service the practice lists for certain disc conditions. It requires its own suitability assessment; the service page includes important information about who should avoid it.

Further evaluation when needed

Not every condition is appropriate for chiropractic treatment. The office can refer you for further medical evaluation when your symptoms or findings call for it. Significant trauma, progressive weakness or new bowel or bladder dysfunction need urgent medical evaluation.
