Slipped disc treatment in Finsbury Park
Slipped disc treatment at our Finsbury Park clinic
If you have been told you have a slipped, prolapsed or herniated disc, you want to know what is actually going on and what can be done about it. That is what your first two visits answer.

What is a slipped disc?
A slipped disc is the everyday name for a disc between the bones of your spine bulging or herniating. It hurts when it presses on a nearby nerve, though some disc changes cause no symptoms at all.
Symptoms can vary
Disc problems can cause back or neck pain, trouble bending or straightening, tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain travelling into an arm or leg. Where you feel it tells us which part of the spine is involved.
How we help with a suspected or diagnosed slipped disc
We take your diagnosis seriously, and we look past it. A disc gets squeezed because of the load on it. When bones are stuck forward and the body twists up to compensate, the discs take the strain.
Your initial consultation covers your history, a full examination of your muscles, joints and nerves, and postural photos. We refer for X-rays if needed.
What care at Posture & Wellness involves
ABC™ corrects the bones that have shifted forward and cannot self-correct, so the spine can settle back into alignment and the pressure comes off the disc. Adjustments are gentle, and we build your care plan around how your body responds.
When to seek urgent medical help
Please seek urgent medical help if you have back pain with numbness around your genitals or bottom, cannot pass urine, lose control of your bladder or bowels, lose feeling in one or both legs, or are in pain after a serious accident.
A high temperature, unexplained weight loss, swelling in the back or pain that is worse at night also need a doctor's opinion before you come to us.
Frequently asked questions
Do all slipped discs cause pain?
No. Some people have a slipped disc without knowing, because it causes no symptoms.
Do I need an MRI before I book?
No. We examine you first and arrange imaging only if we need it. If you already have a scan or X-rays from the last five years, send them to us before your first visit.
Can a slipped disc cause sciatica?
Yes. A disc pressing on the sciatic nerve can send pain into the buttock, hip or leg.
