A slipped disc is actually a herniated disc. This is when some or all of a spinal disc ends up forced through a weak part of the spine. When this happens, it usually places pressure on surrounding nerves or the spinal cord and you experience pain, typically in your lower back. Thankfully, circle chiropractic care can help alleviate the pain.
Space for Nerves
Spinal discs contain a special cartilage that goes between the bones of your spinal column. This cartilage leaves space for pairs of nerves to exit your spine.
Turning and Bending
Normal healthy discs allow you to do things like turning your body and bending it. However, if you lift things improperly, or you slip and fall, you might end up with a herniated (slipped) disc. You might experience a herniation, protrusion or prolapse, whereas your disc narrows, bulges or ruptures.
Chiropractic First
Rather than taking pills or getting surgery, consider circle chiropractic care first. It’s a drug free, natural alternative treatment for herniated discs.
