Don’t Let A Slipped Disc
Disrupt Your Life
Disrupt Your Life
A prolapsed disc is sometimes called a herniated disc. The bulging disc may press on nearby structures such as a nerve coming from the spinal cord. Some inflammation also develops around the prolapsed part of the disc. Inflammation may irritate a nerve and cause swelling, which may put pressure on a nerve.
Symptoms of slipped discs:
- Mild to sharp pain in the neck, shoulders or lower back
- Numbness, tingling or weakness in one arm or hand (slipped disc in the neck)
- Numbness, tingling or weakness in the legs, feet or buttocks (slipped disc in the back)
- Shooting pain when sneezing or coughing
- Loss of bladder or bowel control

Discs can be bulged or herniated because of injury and improper lifting or can occur spontaneously. Aging plays an important role. As you get older, your discs dry out and become harder. The tough fibrous outer wall of the disc may weaken. The gel-like nucleus may bulge or rupture through a tear in the disc wall, causing pain when it touches a nerve.
Factors that may increase the risk of developing a prolapsed disc include:
- Poor resting posture
- Inappropriate lifting and/or carrying
- Poor back and abdominal muscle control
- Sudden or jerky movement, particularly during sports
- Lack of regular exercise, reduced fitness
- Other causes include a fall or traffic accident

Regular Chiropractic Treatment
Our trained chiropractors will apply force to adjust misalignments in your spine to help relieve, reverse and resolve symptoms you are experiencing, ultimately helping you to resume your daily activities.
Decompression Therapy
Nonsurgical procedure intended to relieve pressure in the targeted segment of the spine by gently stretching it to create a negative pressure in it. This stretch will allow herniated/bulging discs to retract and promote blood flow back to the discs to improve recovery. Decompression Therapy has been known to be effective for conditions such as slipped discs, sciatica, disc degeneration and nerve compression.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwaves are transient acoustic waves which have the unique ability to transmit high energy peaks. Shockwave Therapy focuses the high dosages of energy to painful spots through deep cell stimulation, which triggers the tissue healing and regeneration process. This effect is favourable in resolving persistent pain conditions in the joints, tendons and muscles.
