Spine Disorders
There are 26 bone discs or vertebrae that protect your backbone and allow you to easily stand, bend, and perform other tasks. When a nerve disorder interrupts the messaging between the brain and the rest of your body, a multitude of problems can arise. Symptoms begin with numbness, pain, burning or tingling, and muscle weakness that will gradually get worse. Our team at GHNC aims to treat the underlying problems, reduce your pain and control your symptoms.
