Slipped Disc Chiropractic Treatment in Singapore

Chiropractic Treatment For Slipped Disc in Singapore

A slipped disc (also called a herniated or prolapsed disc) happens when the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes out and presses on or irritates a nearby nerve — often causing back pain, and frequently pain, numbness or tingling that travels down a leg or arm. It’s a common cause of lower back and sciatic pain.

The reassuring news is that most slipped discs improve with conservative, non-surgical care, and surgery is only needed in a minority of cases. As an experienced chiropractor for slipped disc, we focus on relieving your pain, reducing the irritation on the affected nerve, restoring your movement, and rebuilding the strength that supports your spine — all without drugs or surgery. And we’re honest: if your condition needs a scan or a specialist, we’ll tell you and refer.

Whether a particular treatment is suitable for you depends on an individual assessment. You can contact us for your assessment. A slipped disc with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, or significant or progressive leg weakness needs urgent medical assessment.
