Slipped Disc

Slipped disc issues are an all time favorite of mine.  First a disc cannot slip.  Discs bulge, they herniate – but they don’t slip.  By the way discs don’t just go bad.  They aren’t some magical weak link in the spine.  They can take a lot of wear and tear before they cause you problems and in most cases, they have taken a beating before you ever even felt the first sign of pain.  In proper alignment, your spine is stable and stronger than you might imagine.  It is only when there is a shift and mechanical changes occur that the spine shows any weakness.  The shifting usually occurs in response to pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, after all, that is what the spine does its sole purpose is to protect the cord and nerves.  Discs are part of that process and when they go south on you it is a sign that there is a much deeper issue.

I am thankful for pain!  Pain lets you know something is wrong.  If caught early enough, the pain can cause you to get help, provided you don’t try to cover it up with drugs and shots.  If you are able to rehab the disc, the prognosis is pretty good.  If you wait, then it is likely that the disc will continue to degenerate and the bones of the spine may continue of towards fusion.  Not good.  Your choice.  We’re here when you decide the time is right.  Your clock is ticking.
