Herniated Disc
Relieve disc pressure, restore comfortable movement.
What you might be feeling
Understanding herniated disc
A herniated (or slipped) disc happens when the soft centre of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often pressing on nearby nerves. It can cause pain, numbness and weakness in the back, neck or limbs.
Treating the cause, not just the symptoms
A considered, evidence-based path to lasting relief — built entirely around you.
Spinal decompression gently creates space between the vertebrae, easing pressure on the disc and nerve, while chiropractic care and physiotherapy restore alignment and strength.
Our approach is conservative and non-surgical — focused on relief and long-term spinal health.
Every plan is personalised — guided by simple at-home exercises and steady follow-up, so your progress holds long after your sessions end.
What causes it
discs that lose hydration and flexibility over time, making the outer layer more likely to tear.
lifting with the back rather than the legs, which can force the disc's soft centre outward.
a fall, twist or impact that overloads the spine in a single moment.
frequent bending, twisting or sitting that gradually wears the disc down.
added pressure from extra weight or poor posture that stresses the discs.
When to see us
It's worth being assessed if you have:
- Back or neck pain that radiates into an arm or leg
- Numbness, tingling or weakness in a limb
- Pain that sharpens when you bend, sit or cough
- A scan that has confirmed a disc problem
Most herniated discs respond well to conservative care, and we focus on non-surgical options that aim to ease pressure and rebuild support.
How we treat herniated disc
Common questions
Many herniated discs respond well to conservative, non-invasive care. We'll assess your case and recommend the safest, most effective plan.
Most patients improve without surgery through decompression and rehabilitation. We focus on non-invasive options first.
It varies by severity — we'll outline a realistic plan after your consultation.
Not usually. With the right care many discs settle over time as pressure and inflammation reduce.
Yes — it's a gentle, controlled therapy designed specifically to relieve pressure on the discs and nerves.
We'll give you clear guidance — typically heavy lifting and prolonged sitting early on, with a gradual return as you improve.
No — decompression and chiropractic care are gentle and non-invasive, and most patients find the sessions comfortable.
It varies with the size and location of the herniation. We'll recommend a realistic course of care after assessing you.
Yes — our care is drug-free, aiming to ease pressure on the disc and nerve through hands-on treatment and exercise.
Yes — please bring the scan. It helps us confirm the level involved and tailor a safe, conservative plan.
We can adapt care for many pregnancy-related disc symptoms using gentle techniques, assessing your stage and comfort first.
