Slipped Disc

Slipped discs, also known as herniated discs, can be a painful and debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

This condition occurs when the cushion-like discs that act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae in your spine bulge or rupture, putting pressure on the nerves in the spinal column.

Symptoms of a slipped disc can include pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the affected area. Depending on the location of the herniated disc, symptoms may occur in the neck, back, arms, or legs.

At our chiropractic clinic, we understand the difficulties that come with a slipped disc, and we’re here to help you manage your symptoms and improve your overall quality of life. Our approach to treatment is centred around the idea that the body can heal itself with proper care and attention.

Our chiropractors are experts in the musculoskeletal system and specialise in treating conditions like slipped discs.

They use a variety of techniques to alleviate pain and promote healing, including:

Spinal Manipulation: This is the primary treatment method used by chiropractors. It involves applying gentle, controlled force to the affected area, which can help to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the nerves.

Therapeutic Exercise: Specific exercises designed to stretch and strengthen the muscles surrounding the affected area can help to reduce pain and improve mobility.

Soft Tissue Therapy: Massage, myofascial release, and other soft tissue therapies can help to loosen tight muscles and improve circulation to the affected area.

Lifestyle Advice: Your chiropractor will work with you to identify lifestyle changes that can help to prevent further injury and promote healing, such as improving posture or adjusting your sleeping position.

If you’re suffering from a slipped disc, don’t wait to seek treatment. Our chiropractors are here to help you manage your symptoms and get back to doing the things you love. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards a pain-free life.
