Is My Back Pain Because of a Slipped Disc?

Discs never “slip”! It is a misnomer. The disc is fairly hard and is made of cartilage and fiber type of material. It is strongly attached to the bones of the spine hence it cannot “slip”. However it can tear, herniate and bulge. It is usually very painful, because as the disc bulges, tears or herniates it can put pressure on the spinal nerves or the spinal cord.

If you think you or someone you know have a damaged disc, consult a Chiropractic Doctor first. Numerous research studies have been conducted in regards to restoration of disc problems with Chiropractic care, without the use of surgery.
