    Slipped Disc Treatment

    When a spinal disc pushes out through a weakness, pressing on nearby nerves.

    Understanding Slipped Disc

    A slipped (herniated) disc happens when the soft centre of a spinal disc pushes through a weak point in its tougher outer ring and presses on nearby nerves. It most often affects people between the ages of 30 and 50.

    At Crest Natural Health Centre, we treat slipped discs naturally with NDA-registered homeopathic medicine, relieving the pain and supporting healing without surgery.

    Common Symptoms

    Back pain that often comes on suddenly and eases when lying flat
    Pain radiating down the leg to the calf or foot (sciatica), often worse than the back pain
    Pins and needles, numbness, or weakness in the buttock, leg, or foot
    Pain made worse by movement, coughing, or sneezing
    Rarely, loss of bladder or bowel control — a medical emergency

    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.
