Does This Describe You?

• You have been diagnosed with a herniated or prolapsed disc in your neck or lower back?
• You are having a nightmare trying to do normal things like sitting, walking and getting dressed?
• The pain is disturbing your sleep?
• You are constantly taking painkillers?
• You are looking for a long term solution but would like to avoid surgery?

Here at The Private Pain Clinic, our highly experienced team are dedicated to serving the local community in Bedford and helping herniated disc sufferers just like you get back to doing the things you love, without pain or restriction

An intervertebral disc is the spongy shock absorbing tissue between the bones in your spine. 

What is commonly known as a 'slipped disc' is more accurately described as a herniated or prolapsed disc, when the central tissue for the disc (the nucleus) breaks through the outer casing of the disc (the annulus) causing herniation. 

This can cause the following symptoms:

• Back Pain or neck pain
• Sciatica or arm pain
• Tingling, pins and needles or numbness
• Difficulty walking, sitting and/or sleeping.

Step 1 - Remove Your Pain

Every disc injury is different.  Some patients will have sciatica or leg pain making walking very difficult, some patients will only have back pain.  Your treatment will be tailored to your specific circumstances and diagnosis. 

Treatment often involves:

• Soft and deep tissue techniques to address tension and/or shortening or spasm your lower back or neck muscles.
• Mobilisation techniques to improve your quality and range of movement, to gently start to get you moving again.

Step 2- Restore Your Normal Range of Movement

When you have been struggling with a disc injury, it can seem hard to imagine that you will be able to move freely again without pain.

This step focuses on treatment to your neck or pelvis, low back and postural alignment, to help straighten you up and get you moving with confidence.  Simple things like getting your shoes and socks off start to get easier again during this stage of our program.

Step 3 - Recovery

Whether your goal is to be able to:

• Lift your children again
• Get back to work
• Get back to the gym or sport
• Sleep through the night

Our 3rd step is vital to make sure that you have the strength in the muscles around the neck or lower back and pelvis, to get back to doing the things you love without pain or restriction.

Here at the Private Pain Clinic we constantly invest in the latest and best treatment technologies to get the best possible results for back pain.
