Relieve the pain from Slipped Disc
Slip Disc Treatment in Manchester
When patients speak of having a slipped disc to our Ancoats chiropractor, this is when either injury or weakness of the spinal column has occurred. The series of bones in the spine (vertebrae) are each protected by cartilaginous discs acting as a cushion to absorb shock to the spine from everyday activities, perhaps lifting heavy weights, twisting the body, or even walking. Such damage or strain can cause the inner portion of the disc to herniate or bulge out through the outer layer. The displaced or partly protruding disc presses on nearby nerves and this causes back pain or sciatica, or the substance released from the tear may itself cause irritation to the region.
All chiropractors including these chiropractors in Ancoats frequently see such conditions and after the initial assessment will guide you through their diagnosis, explaining whether you are suffering from a slipped, herniated, or prolapsed disc. Or indeed if it is a sign of the early stages of degenerative disc disease. An individual treatment plan drawn up for your Ancoats chiropractic treatment with due reference to the severity of your symptoms once the chiropractor has all the information to hand, will help you regain a normal, relatively pain-free life, as our Ancoats chiropractors at Manchester Chiropractors are experts in this area.
As with many complaints and illnesses, lifestyle factors can contribute to the decrease in strength and resilience of the discs. Inadequate nutrition, or poor nutritional choices, the lack of day to day exercise, and smoking can all affect the discs. Add to that, external factors such as heavy or incorrect lifting, simple wear and tear, injury or sudden trauma, will further put the discs under stress.
Appropriate treatment with your Manchester chiropractor here in the Ancoats area of the Northern Quarter can give you the immediate relief you need, but can also offer advice on how to avoid disc problems in the future, by being aware of risk factors and creating a bespoke care plan. Your chiropractic treatment for a slipped disc gives spinal realignment and you can regain your usual flexibility without taking painkillers. It has been shown in recent tests that chiropractic treatment for a herniated disc is the best answer when compared to conventional therapy, heat treatments, or exercises alone.
Make a booking with one of our Ancoats chiropractors at this Manchester Chiropractors clinic and enjoy the potential of a pain free life with a chiro care plan, plus the option of a therapeutic massage to compliment your treatments at our sister massage treatment centre.
