Spinal disc injuries can cause debilitating pain and significantly affect your quality of life.

Our chiropractic care focuses on promoting natural healing without the need for surgery or medications, helping you recover faster and more effectively.
Understanding Spinal Disc Injuries
Your spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, providing flexibility and absorbing shock. When a disc becomes damaged or displaced, it can press on nearby nerves, leading to pain, inflammation, and other symptoms. Common types of spinal disc injuries include:
- Herniated Disc: Occurs when the inner core of a disc pushes through the outer layer, irritating nearby nerves.
- Bulging Disc: A disc that bulges beyond its normal boundary without fully rupturing, potentially pressing on nerves.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: As discs naturally age and deteriorate, they can lose flexibility and cushioning, leading to pain and discomfort.
Chiropractic Treatment for Spinal Disc Injuries in Rhode Island
At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we don’t just provide effective chiropractic treatments for spinal disc injuries. We provide care that’s tailored to you, focusing on relieving pressure on the discs and promoting natural healing. Our team of chiropractors will conduct a thorough evaluation of your condition and develop a customized treatment plan that’s designed with your needs in mind.

Decompression
Decompression therapy is a non-surgical option that can help alleviate pressure on spinal discs, which is particularly beneficial for those with spinal disc injuries. This technique gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs to promote healing and reduce pain.

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy
Class IV Hot Laser Therapy can be highly effective in reducing inflammation and promoting healing of spinal disc injuries. The laser energy penetrates deep into tissues, increasing blood circulation and stimulating cellular regeneration to accelerate the body's natural healing process.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy can address pain and soft tissue damage associated with spinal disc injuries. The high-energy sound waves used in this therapy stimulate the body's natural healing response, breaking down scar tissue, reducing inflammation, and promoting the growth of new blood vessels for long-term pain relief.
Symptoms of Spinal Disc Injuries
The symptoms of spinal disc injuries can vary depending on the severity and location of the injury. Common symptoms include:
- Sharp or shooting pain in the back, neck, or legs
- Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
- Weakness in the limbs
- Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods

So my story:
I had a bad car accident back in 2017 that fractured my left wrist, one of my ribs, my neck seized up and couldent move it to the left, and did something to my lower back where later on it went out where it was consistently going out of alignment. Think of you back as an upside down T, as the ( --- ) is the hips/waist and the ( | ) as the spine. My Spine is a (《 ) and my hips is ( / ), higher on one side then the other. This has caused excessive pain at some points. 8 years later I'm still going for monthly maintenance to keep everything in check. My neck can move after a few treatments and I still get the "rice crispy cereal popping sound" but I don't think that'll ever go away but it's jot as loud and I can move my neck. My lower back is the stubborn problem at this point.
They started doing the shockwave therapy maybe a few years ago at this point and I was a difficult patient to get to try it with all the adjustments and the money I was spending when my back would flare up and really be out of alignment and sometimes have 3 visits a week. I gave in and started the shockwave which made them so happy, and myself after. It was night an day difference. Now I know if I have a flairup that option is there. Due to how well the shockwave treatment works, I have not had many flairups because it works. It breaks down the swelling, inflammation, scar tissue, increases blood flow...etc. My muscles are not pulling my waist as tight in one direction anymore.
Now my most recent issue which one would think why the Chiropractor for this. I woke up the other week and couldent walk on my foot. Thought I stepped wrong at work and pulled a muscle. Over a few days it swelled and got worse. I ended up calling the office to get in for Shockwave knowing it helped my back before. I had, and have, Edema in my right foot, ankle, and calf. It was swollen. Like a balloon. They did the shock and Dr Chris told me to still see my primary which I did and found the reason for it and treating that as well. The Shockwave therapy REMOVED AND DRAINED THE EDEMA!!!! It's not a one time fix due to the cause of the Edema but just had another treatment and still a few more to go. The progress is amazing. I'll upload the before and after pic and you can determine yourself. It's just WOW!
Like i said, I love the treatment, the staff, and I'll continue to come here because if it wasn't for them, I'd be falling apart more then I am now. They keep me tuned up.
(Sorry the after pic of my un swollen foot doesn't show much of the ankle)
