what is the most Effective Slipped Disc treatment?
Our Surbiton Chiropractic Clinic is the UK’s first dedicated centre in the UK for treating Slipped Discs. In doing this our knowledge and experience of this tricky condition has grown and helped in the further development of protocols using specific technology, proven to fix disc injuries.
So, if you or someone you know is struggling with the discomfort and pain of a herniated disc, you’ve come to the right place.
This is our outline of how our Surbiton DISC Chiropractors has transcended standard chiropractic care, offering insights into how we can be a game-changer on your path to recovery.
A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or bulging disc, occurs when the soft, jelly-like centre of a spinal disc pushes through a tear or crack in the outer layer.
There are varieties and grades of disc injury that will determine the plan of action in slipped disc treatments, and understanding these is crucial for recovery.
“While discs are attributed to perhaps 10% of ALL back pain, when you consider back pain to be severe enough to seek out care, then we see the disc is causal for at least 50% of that back pain.”

Is chiropractic care an effective slipped disc Treatment?
The idea of chiropractic care might seem scary to many disc injury patients, and a fair amount of hesitancy is appropriate. Slipped disc treatments require specialist training and knowledge; a heavy-handed approach could lead to a (short-term) exacerbation of the symptoms.
It’s important to remember that chiropractic care isn’t all about twisting and clicking joints. Our philosophy extends into many alternate techniques, and here at The DISC Chiropractors we have the latest, cutting-edge therapies that directly improve disc health and provide lasting relief.
Research has shown you’re just as likely to need surgery if you see the GP for your back pain as a chiropractor. But at least with the chiropractor, you have a fighting chance to recover.
Most chiropractors will go cautiously with an already identified disc injury, the real skill is spotting those early lower-level conditions on the cusp of turning into something more sinister, and choosing a conservative approach rather than going for glory.

How do spinal decompression tables work?
Spinal Decompression Machines work by gently stretching the spine. Patients lie on the table and using a harness system, the computerised technique begins decompressing the spine by applying a percentage of the patient’s body weight as a traction force.
A human intervertebral disc has one disastrous design flaw… no direct blood supply. Which makes getting the necessary nutrients to heal difficult.
By creating a negative pressure via a decompression table, we can flood the gel centre of the disc with abundant hydration enhancing the body’s ability to repair.
Furthermore, the vacuum effect of Spinal Decomp. has been shown to help resorb disc protrusions and herniations allowing scar tissue to effectively rebuild the previously damaged outer walls.
As a result of relieving the pressure and creating a nonhostile environment, the natural flow of nutrients (via the vertebral bodies) can be restored to provide a lasting relief and continued healing long after treatment.

Inside our Slipped disc treatment Protocol
At DISC Surbiton, we have spent years researching and fine-tuning our protocols so that we have methods that transcend traditional chiropractic.
Our clinic has advanced cutting-edge equipment specially designed to deal with disc herniations and impinged nerves.
Our Spinal Decompression Tables provide the lion’s share of the energy. Its gentle wave-like traction creates a negative pressure and floods damaged discs with the nutrients they need for healing, whilst vacuuming in bulges and herniations.
This is combined with Instrument Assisted Adjusting which adds a conservative ability to mobilise joints without the need to aggressively twist or click the spine.
Whilst these are the backbone of our protocol, our accessory therapies often prove key in unlocking complex cases and include…
Laser Therapy, Chiropractic Adjustments, Neuromuscular Stimulation, Rehabilitation, Acupuncture & HiFrequency Electromagnets.
