>Gentle manipulations (commonly referred to as “adjustments”) to improve joint mobility and reduce pressure on affected areas, enhancing functionality and reducing pain.
>Guidance on ergonomic modifications at work and home to minimize joint strain.
>Developing exercise programs tailored to improve joint flexibility and strength without exacerbating symptoms.

HERNIATED DISC - CAUSES
Disk herniation is most often the result of a gradual, aging-related wear and tear called disk degeneration. As people age, the disks become less flexible and more prone to tearing or rupturing with even a minor strain or twist.

Sometimes, using the back muscles instead of the leg and thigh muscles to lift heavy objects can lead to a herniated disk. Twisting and turning while lifting also can cause a herniated disk. Rarely, a traumatic event such as a fall or a blow to the back is the cause.
