Slipped Disc Treatment in Basildon
A slipped disc is a very painful condition which occurs when the cushioned disc which sits between each vertebrae of the spine becomes injured and moves from its position as the result of trauma or repetitive injury. This displacement presses the vertebrae against the nerve, which causes inflammation and pain that can radiate down the leg to the toes. You may need to seek slipped disc treatment if you have symptoms including deep, dull aching in the lower back and/or buttocks; pain in the leg when you cough, sneeze or strain; leg pain, numbness or tingling, or restricted and slow movement.
Chiropractic slipped disc treatment is an effective method of relieving the pain of a slipped disc. At the chiropractic clinic your doctor will ask you all about your symptoms and the possible cause of the slipped disc, and the chiropractors will take a full health history and conduct a complete medical examination including x-rays to rule out other causes and conditions, before deciding on an individual course of chiropractic treatment.
Slipped disc treatment at Basildon Chiropractic involves gently applying a precise force to stuck spinal joints to help the body to re-align and correct itself, which with repeated visits leads to a restoration of the nervous system and physical health. The patient may also be given instructions on stretching exercises and other therapies including heat and ice to use at home. There may be cases where the patient needs alternative slipped disc treatment, in which case the chiropractic clinic will refer the patient to a spine specialist.
