Slipped Disc

Picture
A slipped disc – known as a prolapsed or herniated disc – occurs when one of the discs that sit between the bones of the spine (the vertebrae) is damaged and presses on the nerves.

This can cause back pain and neck pain, as well as symptoms such as numbness, a tingling sensation, or weakness in other areas of the body.



The purpose of chiropractic therapy is to correct areas of the spine that are  interfering with the proper functioning of the nervous system. Chiropractic therapy help restore proper motion and position of malfunctioning spinal bones. If treated early, the disc tissue often returns to a more normal size and shape thereby restoring proper motion and position of affected spinal joints.
