● CONDITION · DISC HERNIATION & SPINAL ISSUES

Hands-on treatment for disc herniation and spinal issues

Disc herniation and spinal issues are one of our clinic's main specialities. Whether it's a bulging or herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or long-standing degenerative changes, these conditions can cause not just localised back or neck pain, but referred symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness that travel into the arms or legs.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to properly diagnosing the specific disc or spinal issue involved, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, including IDD Therapy, to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause.

Does this describe you?

  • You've been told you have a "bulging" or "herniated" disc, but aren't sure what that really means for you
  • Pain, numbness, or tingling travels from your back or neck into your arm or leg
  • You've been advised to consider injections or surgery, and want to explore other options first
  • Sitting, standing, or certain movements bring on pain that radiates elsewhere
  • You've had an MRI showing a disc or spinal issue, but haven't found a treatment that's actually helped
  • Your symptoms seem to be gradually getting worse, or aren't improving with rest
  • You experience weakness or a "heavy" feeling in your leg or arm
  • Long-standing back or neck pain has started to affect your daily life, sleep, or ability to exercise

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it's exactly what we help patients with, every day.

DIAGNOSIS

Eight types of disc herniation we treat.

Each one needs a different treatment approach — which is why the first appointment exists to identify exactly which is yours.

Disc Herniation and Bulging Discs

Where the inner material of a spinal disc pushes outward and presses on nearby nerves, causing localised pain along with referred symptoms into the arm or leg, depending on the level affected.

Sciatica from Disc Involvement

Pain, numbness, or tingling travelling from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg, caused specifically by a disc pressing on the sciatic nerve or its nerve roots.

Cervical Disc Problems

Disc-related issues in the neck, which can cause localised neck pain as well as referred pain, numbness, or weakness into the shoulder, arm or hand.

Spinal Stenosis

A narrowing of the spinal canal or the openings where nerve roots exit the spine, often causing pain, numbness, or weakness that worsens with standing or walking.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Age-related wear and loss of disc height, which can increase strain on surrounding joints and nerves, leading to chronic stiffness and pain.

Facet Joint Involvement

Irritation or degeneration of the small joints of the spine, which frequently occurs alongside disc-related issues and can contribute to overlapping symptoms.

Post-Surgical and Pre-Surgical Spinal Care

Support for patients preparing for spinal surgery, or recovering afterwards, as well as patients actively looking to explore non-surgical treatment options first.

Chronic Nerve-Related Pain

Ongoing pain, numbness or weakness caused by long-standing nerve irritation or compression linked to disc or spinal degeneration.

— OUR APPROACH —

How we can help.

At our clinic, we take a thorough, evidence-based approach to properly diagnosing the specific disc or spinal issue involved, then build a treatment plan around you — drawing on the most appropriate combination of hands-on therapy, targeted rehabilitation, and advanced treatments available across our clinic, including IDD Therapy, to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause.

Disc herniation and spinal conditions are one of our clinic's main specialities. We've helped hundreds of patients with disc-related pain and spinal issues find lasting relief, from those who've just received a diagnosis and aren't sure what to do next, to those who've been told surgery is their only remaining option and want to explore every alternative first.

Alongside expert osteopathy and physiotherapy, we offer IDD Therapy — a non-surgical spinal decompression treatment widely regarded as a gold-standard intervention for disc herniation and spinal stenosis. We're frequently recommended by orthopaedic doctors across London for patients looking to try a thorough, non-surgical approach as a genuine first step, before considering more invasive options.

Our approach combines this advanced technology with hands-on manual therapy, so we're treating both the disc or spinal issue itself and the surrounding muscles and joints that so often compensate around it — giving you the best possible chance of lasting relief, without rushing straight to surgery as the only path forward.
