What We Treat — South Surrey, BC
Spinal discs are the shock absorbers between your vertebrae, and a herniation or bulge happens when disc material pushes outward — sometimes irritating a nearby nerve.
What it is
Spinal discs are the shock absorbers between your vertebrae, and a herniation or bulge happens when disc material pushes outward — sometimes irritating a nearby nerve. Here's the reassuring part most people never hear: disc herniations are common even in pain-free backs, the majority improve without surgery, and many physically shrink over time.
How we treat it
Assessment identifies your directional preference — the movements that centralize and calm your symptoms — which becomes the backbone of treatment alongside hands-on therapy and graded, progressive exercise. Most disc problems settle over weeks to months with the right plan. We screen carefully for the rare presentations that need urgent medical attention, and coordinate with your physician on imaging when it would genuinely change the plan.
