Do you have a #SlippedDisc?

Please watch this video to find out more information!



The discs in between the spinal vertebrae normally act as shock absorbers, absorbing all the weight and load we go through on a day to day basis. 

A disc herniation, more commonly known as a slipped disc is a condition where there is a weakening of the disc tissue. 

This condition may develop as a natural part of the aging process, but it is more commonly associated with a  #BackInjury. 

A back injury can occur from number of day to day activities – the most common is sitting for prolonged periods and bending forward and lifting.

A disc injury typically begins when small tears appear in the disc wall as a result of a back injury. 

When the body starts to heal the disc tissue, it creates #ScarTissue that is not as strong as the original disc wall. If the back is repeatedly injured, the process of tearing and scarring may continue, weakening the disc wall. 

Over time, the nucleus (or centre) of the disc becomes damaged and loses some of its water content. The nucleus can start to leak through the tears and start causing a bulge in the disc tissue. This bulge can push on a #SpinalNerve that lies close to it. 

Over time, the disc is unable to act as a cushion, the nucleus collapses. The vertebrae above and below this damaged disc slide closer together. This improper alignment causes the joints to twist and turn into an unnatural position. In time, this awkward positioning of the vertebrae may create #BoneSpurs/ #ArthriticChanges. 

Some people experience low back pain, leg pain, numbness or tingling in the leg/s/feet. Pain can come and go. But some people do not even experience pain as certain pain fibres have not yet been excited. 

You don’t have to have pain for a problem to occur and develop. So get your spine checked today to ensure it is functioning to its best ability!

Hey , If you’ve spent any time around me. Or read any of my emails. You’ll have heard me say 3 magic words… In fact, I don’t know for sure if I talk in my sleep. But if I do, I’ve got no doubt I’d be saying: “Lotion is motion.” If I was a spine-adjusting superhero, it would definitely be my catchphrase. But what does it actually mean? It's no secret that our bodies are designed to move. Yet, in a world increasingly inclined towards sedentary lifestyles, we often forget the power of motion.  But here are 5 reasons why integrating movement into your daily routine is critical to your health: #1. Boosts Mental Health Regular physical activity is a natural mood enhancer, helping to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. It's like nature's antidepressant - without the side effects . #2. Enhances Joint Health Movement helps maintain joint flexibility and can reduce pain and stiffness. If you’re focusing on improving your spinal health, regular motion will ensure that your bac...

  5 reasons to put your phone down in February Do you ever think about how different life was before mobile phones? Having to call someone's house phone to get hold of them. Or agreeing a place and time to meet someone, and hoping they turned up! Nowadays, where our phones are often 'glued' to our person at all times, it's easy to forget the value of truly unplugging. That's why today, I'm inviting you to explore the concept of a digital detox. It's more than just a break from screens - it's a journey towards improved mental and physical health. Here are my top 5 reasons digital detox can be incredibly beneficial: 1.  Reduced Stress:  It's no secret that constant notifications and social media can increase stress and anxiety. Stepping away from screens gives your mind a much-needed break, leading to a more relaxed and calm state. 2.  Improved Sleep:  Screens emit blue light that can disrupt your sleep cycle. By reducing screen time, especially before...
