Discs do not “slip”, however, if damaged they can leak or rupture.
No, it is not possible for discs to slip. The disc is a pad-like tissue located between two vertebrae, which act as shock absorber for the spine. The centre of the disc is made of a fluid, soft, ‘jelly-like’ substance. When discs become damaged, tears can occur through which the soft centre can leak out and push on the nerves. This is known as a ruptured or herniated disc and is extremely painful.
Chiropractic care combined with good physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises can be very successful and many patients have avoided surgery or a dependency on pain pills, by choosing chiropractic care for their disc-related health problems. In fact chiropractic adjustments are safer than back surgery, muscle relaxers, and even aspirin!
Unfortunately surgery might be necessary in some cases.
