Understanding Herniated Discs

Herniated discs and how we can help

A herniated disc, also referred to as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like nucleus of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tough outer ring.

This often results in irritation or compression of nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness, particularly in the legs (sciatica) or arms, depending on the disc’s location.

Symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to severe mobility impairment.

If you have been diagnosed, or are struggling, with a herniated disc do not despair. With the right professional care, including targeted rehabilitation exercises and manual therapy, a herniated disc can be effectively treated, relieving pain and restoring mobility.

About Rehabilitating Your Herniated Disc

  • Nerve Compression: Herniated discs can lead to nerve compression, causing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness, often affecting the arms or legs.
  • Common Symptoms: Lower back pain, tingling sensations, reduced mobility, and pain radiating down the leg (sciatica) are frequently experienced by those with herniated discs.
  • Causes: Typically results from aging, repetitive stress on the spine, or physical trauma. Disc degeneration over time can make the outer layer more prone to tears, allowing the inner gel to escape.
  • Our Treatments: Include therapies such as Pilates-based rehabilitation, manual therapy, acupunture, and a personalised exercise program aimed at restoring spinal function and preventing recurrence.
  • Holistic Recovery: Your tailored comprehensive treatment plan will promote spinal health and offer long-term relief, addressing not only your symptoms but also the underlying cause to ensure a well-rounded recovery.

Our specialist team can help restore your mobility and alleviate discomfort.
