What Are Disc Problems?

Spinal discs are the cushions between your vertebrae that allow for flexibility and absorb shock. While there’s no such thing as a “slipped disc,” several disc issues can arise:

  • Herniation: When the jelly-like centre of the disc ruptures through the outer layer
  • Bulging or Protrusion: The disc bulges where it’s weakest, potentially pressuring nearby nerves
  • Prolapse: A more severe form of bulging where the disc escapes from between the vertebrae
Common causes include improper lifting, accidents, ageing, and poor posture.

What Are the Symptoms?

Disc issues can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Localised back or neck pain
  • Radiating pain to arms or legs (sciatica)
  • Numbness or tingling in extremities
  • Muscle weakness
  • Reduced mobility and flexibility

Through gentle adjustments and personalised care plans, we work to relieve your symptoms and address the root cause of your disc issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aren’t disc problems simply due to the normal ageing process?

Not necessarily. While ageing can contribute to disc issues, many problems arise from years of neglect. Often, individuals with spinal problems don’t notice symptoms until significant degeneration has occurred. However, many elderly people who have consistently cared for their spines enjoy excellent spinal health and function.

Could chiropractic help me avoid surgery?

It’s possible, depending on the severity of your disc conditions. Starting with chiropractic care is a good option since it is natural and non-invasive.

Your Path to Healing Starts Here
