Personalised Chiropractic Care for Slipped Disc in London
A slipped, or prolapsed, disc happens when the soft centre of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer and may irritate a nearby nerve. It can cause back pain, leg pain, pins and needles or weakness.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess your spine and nerve function carefully, check for signs that need urgent attention and, where appropriate, offer gentle treatment. See also our pages on back pain and sciatica.

Understanding Slipped Disc
Common Causes of a Slipped Disc
Discs can bulge or prolapse after sudden lifting or twisting, but more often they change gradually with age, repeated strain, long periods of sitting and reduced fitness. Many people with disc changes found on tests have no pain at all.
Symptoms depend on whether a nerve is irritated. Most disc problems improve over weeks to months. Chiropractic care uses gentle, low-force techniques where suitable, with exercises and advice on movement to support recovery.
Clear, personalised care for slipped disc
Every slipped disc consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your spine, nerves and movement, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Slipped Disc?
I take a detailed history and carry out a neurological and orthopaedic examination before deciding on a plan. When the back is very sore, treatment is gentle and may include soft tissue work, mobilisation and carefully chosen positions and movements.
As symptoms settle, I introduce exercises to restore movement and strength and advice on lifting, sitting and sleeping. If your symptoms suggest a need for further tests, injections or surgical review, I will refer you promptly.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Slipped Disc Symptoms
Back Pain With Leg Pain, Tingling or Weakness
A disc problem often brings low back pain that spreads into the buttock and leg, sometimes with pins and needles or numbness in the foot. Coughing, sneezing or sitting for long periods may make it worse.
Short walks, changing position often and avoiding prolonged bed rest usually help while you are being assessed. If you have any of the warning signs below, seek emergency help immediately. See also trapped nerve care.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Slipped Disc
Can a chiropractor treat a slipped disc?
Chiropractic care may help manage pain and restore movement in many people with disc-related back and leg pain, after a careful examination to make sure it is suitable.
Is a slipped disc really slipped?
No. A disc cannot slip out of place; it may bulge or tear and press on a nerve. The term is simply a common name.
How long does a slipped disc take to heal?
Many people improve over six to twelve weeks, though it varies. Staying gently active generally helps.
Is spinal manipulation safe with a disc problem?
It depends on your symptoms. I use gentle, low-force techniques where appropriate and avoid anything unsuitable for your presentation.
When is a slipped disc an emergency?
Seek emergency help for bladder or bowel changes, numbness around the genitals or anus, or weakness in both legs.
What happens at a first slipped disc appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for slipped disc?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
