What it is

A slip disc, correctly called a disc bulge or prolapse, happens when the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes outward and irritates a nearby nerve root. It occurs most often in the lower back and the neck.

The majority of disc cases recover without surgery. Physiotherapy reduces nerve pressure, centralises symptoms towards the spine and rebuilds the strength that keeps the disc protected.

Symptoms we see

Sharp pain radiating into one leg or arm
Pins and needles or numbness following a nerve path
Weakness in the foot, calf, hand or grip
Pain that worsens on sitting, coughing or sneezing
Inability to stand upright or a visible list to one side

Common causes

Repeated bending and lifting with poor technique
Prolonged sitting and driving with reduced disc nutrition
Age-related disc degeneration
Sudden loading such as lifting a heavy object while twisting
Weak trunk and hip musculature

Our approach

Assessment: Nerve tension testing, myotome and dermatome screening, reflex check, level identification and red flag clearance before treatment begins.
Treatment: Mechanical traction, positional decompression, IFT for radiating pain, directional exercise to centralise symptoms and graded core and hip strengthening.
Home program: Safe sitting and lifting rules, a walking plan, and two or three key exercises to be done several times daily.

Techniques used

Mechanical traction

Cervical or lumbar traction to reduce pressure on the compressed nerve root.

Centralisation exercise

Repeated directional movement that draws pain back towards the spine.

Neural mobilisation

Gentle gliding techniques to restore nerve mobility without provoking symptoms.

Core stabilisation

Progressive trunk control work to protect the affected segment.

Electrotherapy

IFT and ultrasound to reduce inflammation and radiating pain.

What a session looks like

Symptom map to track how far the pain travels
Neurological retest of power, sensation and reflexes
Traction or positional decompression
Manual and neural mobilisation
Supervised centralisation and stability work
Daily activity rules until the next session

Frequently asked questions

Can a slipped disc heal without surgery?

Yes, in most cases. Studies and our own clinical experience show that the majority of disc prolapses settle with structured physiotherapy over six to twelve weeks.

Is traction safe?

It is safe when the assessment rules out contraindications. We set the load and duration to your body weight and tolerance.

When is surgery necessary?

For progressive muscle weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe pain that does not respond to a well-executed rehabilitation program.
