Slipped or Herniated Disc Treatment

Understanding Slipped or Herniated Disc

In a slipped or herniated disc, disc material protrudes and may irritate a spinal nerve.

How Crest May Support You

Treatment is individualised after reviewing symptoms, neurological findings and available imaging. Numbness around the genital area or loss of bladder or bowel control requires emergency hospital assessment.

Medical Notice: Homeopathic care at Crest Natural Health Centre complements but does not replace emergency, hospital or specialist treatment. Patients should continue prescribed medicines unless their qualified medical practitioner advises otherwise.

Common Symptoms

Back or neck pain

Pain radiating into an arm or leg

Numbness

Tingling

Weakness

Causes & Triggers

A disc 'slips' when its soft inner core pushes through a weak point in the tougher outer ring and presses on nearby nerves.

It is often triggered by an awkward bend, a sneeze, or lifting something heavy in a poor position.

Jobs involving heavy lifting or long hours sitting raise the risk, as do weight-bearing sports.

Smoking, excess weight, and getting older all make the discs more vulnerable.

Risks of Delaying Care

Pressure on a nerve can cause lasting pain, numbness, or weakness in the leg.

Most slipped discs settle, but some leave persistent sciatica.

Rarely, a large disc can press on the lowest spinal nerves (cauda equina syndrome). Loss of bladder or bowel control is a medical emergency.

How We Diagnose It

Physical and neurological examination

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) when results would change management
