Slipped Disc

The disc is a special cartilage between the spinal bones. It creates a separation between these bones that allows our nerves to exit the spine. Healthy discs give you normal motion like bending and turning. Trauma can cause the core of disc to shift. The disc can’t slip but it can herniate, protrude, or prolapse. A herniation is when disc wedging occurs and narrows the nerve openings. A protrusion occurs when the disc bulges where it is the weakest, resulting in nerve pressure. A prolapse occurs when there is a rupture.

Chiropractic is a natural way of regaining joint movement and allowing the disc to heal.
