Understanding Disc Pain & Herniated Discs
Your spine is made up of vertebrae cushioned by discs that act as shock absorbers. When a disc becomes damaged or slips out of place, it can irritate surrounding nerves, leading to:
- Localised back or neck pain
- Radiating pain down the arms or legs
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the limbs
- Reduced flexibility and mobility
Herniated discs often develop gradually due to posture, repetitive strain, or ageing, but they can also result from sudden injury. Early care can significantly improve recovery outcomes.
How Our Chiropractic Care Helps with Disc Pain
Our chiropractor will carefully assess your condition, taking into account your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle, before creating a personalised plan. Treatment may include:
Spinal Adjustments
Gentle, controlled adjustments help to realign the spine, reduce nerve compression, and restore movement.
Complementary Therapies
We may integrate soft tissue therapy, dry needling, or tailored mobility exercises to further reduce pain and support recovery.
Flexion-Distraction Therapy
Using a specialised chiropractic table, the spine is gently stretched in rhythmic motions to relieve pressure on the disc and promote healing.
We provide guidance on posture correction, ergonomic changes, and therapeutic exercises to help prevent recurrence and promote long-term spinal health.
Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment for Herniated Discs
Pain Relief: Reduces pressure on irritated nerves to alleviate sharp or radiating pain.
Improved Mobility: As inflammation decreases, movement and flexibility return.
Non-Invasive Care: Avoids the risks of surgery or long-term reliance on medication.
Personalised Plans: Each patient receives treatment tailored to their symptoms and recovery goals.
Important Considerations
Individualised Care: Each treatment plan is based on your specific condition and needs.
Early Intervention Matters: The sooner you seek treatment, the more effective the results are likely to be.
Consultation with GP: It’s important to have your condition properly diagnosed and monitored by both your chiropractor and GP.
