Slipped Disc Care

There’s technically no such thing as a “slipped” disc, but bulging, protruding, and herniated discs are very real. Each spinal disc has a jelly-like centre held in place by fibrous bands of tissue, and healthy discs are what let you turn and bend with ease. Improper lifting, slips, falls, and car accidents can all cause that centre to shift, leading to a few specific issues: herniation, when the central portion of the disc ruptures; protrusion, a common cause of back pain, where the disc bulges at its weakest point and puts pressure on nearby nerves; and prolapse, when a disc escapes from between the vertebrae entirely.

Chiropractic First

Chiropractic care is a remarkably effective, natural way to address a range of disc problems. Drug-free care works by improving joint mechanics, restoring spinal motion, and reducing inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does chiropractic help with disc problems?

Adjustments help restore proper motion and position to spinal bones that aren’t functioning correctly. Caught before permanent damage sets in, disc tissue often returns closer to its normal size and shape.

Aren’t disc problems just part of normal aging?

Not exactly. A lot of disc problems actually trace back to years of neglect rather than age itself. Plenty of people don’t notice symptoms until degeneration is already advanced, while many older adults who’ve maintained their spine throughout life still enjoy excellent spinal health and function.

Could chiropractic help me avoid surgery?

Possibly, it depends on the severity of your condition. But starting with chiropractic first, since it’s natural and non-invasive, is almost always a smart first step.
