EXPLORE

A slipped (herniated) disc occurs when a spinal disc bulges and irritates nearby nerves, causing back and leg pain. At Omnia Lifestyle in Chiswick we treat it with physiotherapy, acupuncture and manual therapy, combined after assessment.

Common symptoms

  • Sudden severe pain after a lift or twist
  • Sharp, shooting pain down the leg
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Muscle spasm — sometimes unable to straighten
  • Pain worse with sitting
  • Intermittent flares with chronic stiffness in long-standing cases

How we treat slipped disc in Chiswick

Most disc injuries improve without surgery. Your plan typically draws on physiotherapy to decompress and rebuild, acupuncture for pain and spasm, and careful manual therapy — progressing to movement practices that protect the spine long term. Everything is chosen after a proper assessment — and staged around your flare pattern — at our clinic in Chiswick, West London.

New bladder or bowel changes, numbness in the saddle area, or progressive leg weakness — go to A&E immediately. These need same-day assessment.
