About The Augusta Disc Herniation in the Thoracic Spine

Thoracic disc herniations are not that common, making up only 2% of all disc herniations documented, but they do hurt.

the disruption of the integrity of the normal intervertebral disc, the pad of cartilage that sits between the vertebral bones of the spine

The symptoms of a thoracic herniated disc are severe, deep, aching pain that often radiates into the lateral (side) chest wall and forward into the check. The pain may be deep, gripping pain in the spine, radiating around to the chest.

Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic follows a careful examination routine to not miss any symptom or sign that points to the correct diagnosis of your thoracic spine pain.

In office, Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic uses Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression. You will welcome the Cox Technic manipulation that gently "pulls you apart," as many patients describe the treatment or say they need. Cox Technic opens the spinal canal space, increases the disc height, and drops intradiscal pressure to alleviate your pain.

At home, Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic may recommend hot/cold therapy, exercise or modification of your sleeping or working environment.
