Our unique approach to treating slipped discs sets TIO Chiro & Physio Center apart from other clinics. By integrating the latest chiropractic methods with complementary therapies, we provide personalized, targeted treatments tailored to each individual’s specific condition and needs
A slipped disc (also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc) is a common and often painful spinal condition.
Your spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) separated by soft, cushion-like intervertebral discs. Each disc has a tough, fibrous outer ring and a soft, gel-like inner core. A slipped disc occurs when the soft inner core pushes out through a tear or weakness in the outer ring.
This protruding material can irritate or put pressure on nearby spinal nerves, leading to pain and other symptoms.
Slipped discs are often the result of age-related wear and tear (disc degeneration), but can also be caused by sudden stress:
Over time, discs naturally lose some of their water content, making them less flexible and more prone to tearing—the most common cause.
Using back muscles instead of leg and thigh muscles to lift heavy objects can strain the spine.
A sudden, forceful event like a fall or a blow to the back can cause a disc to rupture.
Excess body weight puts increased stress on the discs in the lower back.
The symptoms you experience depend on the location of the slipped disc (most commonly in the lower back or neck) and whether it is pressing on a nerve:
Pain in the back or neck, which may worsen with certain movements.
Pain that travels down into the buttocks, leg, and sometimes the foot (often called sciatica when in the lower back).
Sensations of "pins and needles" or a loss of feeling in the part of the body served by the affected nerve.
Difficulty lifting things or experiencing weakness in the arm, hand, leg, or foot muscles.

Our Approach to Treatment While there’s no instant slipped disc cure, our comprehensive approach at TIO Chiro & Physio Center offers significant relief and promotes healing. Our treatment plan combines chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, and specialized exercises to address the root cause of your disc herniation and alleviate symptoms.
Many patients ask, “Can chiropractic cure slipped disc?” While chiropractic care may not instantly cure a slipped disc, it is an effective part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Our chiropractic approach, combined with physiotherapy and rehabilitative exercises, can significantly reduce pain, improve function, and promote natural healing of the herniated disc.
While rare, a severe, untreated slipped disc can potentially cause weakness or loss of function, and in extremely rare cases, paralysis. This usually occurs if the disc material severely compresses the spinal cord or all the nerves in the spinal canal (a condition called Cauda Equina Syndrome). If you experience sudden, severe weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, or numbness around the groin, seek immediate medical attention.
Healing time varies greatly depending on the severity of the herniation and the treatment method. Mild cases treated conservatively (like with the TIO Integrated Spinal Approach) may show significant improvement within 4 to 6 weeks. However, a full recovery and complete rehabilitation to prevent recurrence can take several months of consistent therapy and care.
Physiotherapy, especially when integrated with chiropractic care like in our TIO Integrated Spinal Approach, is highly effective at managing, reversing symptoms, and promoting the healing of a slipped disc. While it may not "cure" the disc in the sense of fully reversing the structural damage to the disc itself, it successfully eliminates pain, restores function, strengthens supporting muscles, and corrects the underlying biomechanical issues that caused the herniation, which is crucial for long-term relief and prevention.
