Treatment - Slipped disc

What is Slipped disc?

Recently, the number of Slipped disc patients are increasing and also now common for people at younger age. Since the lockdown a few years back, most of us begin to work in front of computers. Did you know that long sitting, bad posture and immobility is the reason of many major spine issue? 

“Slipped disc” is a term often used to describe a herniated or bulging disc in the spine. The spine is made up of a series of vertebrae, each separated by intervertebral discs. These discs act as cushions, absorbing shock and providing flexibility to the spine. However, when a disc becomes herniated or bulges out of its normal position, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area.

At Hands-On Physio, we use Bowen Technique and Therapeutical Exercises as an effective treatment approach for managing the symptoms of a slipped disc. 

These treatments help relax tight muscles and reduce inflammation around the herniated disc. By releasing tension in the muscles and connective tissues, these techniques can alleviate pain, improve circulation, and facilitate the healing process.

    Our physiotherapists will prescribe specific exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles supporting the spine. Stretching exercises can help relieve pressure on the herniated disc and improve flexibility, while strengthening exercises can stabilize the spine and reduce the risk of further injury.
