SLIPPED DISCS, DISC HERNIATION & BULGES

St Giles Physiotherapy & Sports Rehabilitation Clinic’s specialists often deal with common problems such as disc bulges, herniations, and slipped discs, which arise from the intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers and sit between each vertebra in your spine. When subjected to sudden or repetitive movements, these discs can be damaged, resulting in their displacement and nerve compression.

If you are afflicted with disc problems like bulges, herniations, or slipped discs, you may encounter discomfort, numbness, or weakness in your limbs. Our Northampton clinic offers various therapies, including K-laser, EMS therapy, shockwave therapy, and percussion therapy, to help the healing of the discs and relieve symptoms. Once the pain subsides, and you can perform exercises, our skilled practitioners will guide you through strengthening routines at our in-house gym. To expedite your recovery, we concentrate on reinforcing the core, lower back, and lower limbs as part of our strengthening programme. While each case varies, typically it takes about 8-12 sessions to reduce or eliminate symptoms and enable a painless resumption of daily activities.
