Suffering from a Herniated Disc?
What is Disc Herniation?
Disc herniation, also known as a slipped or prolapsed disc, occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer.
This can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, or limbs.
In Hong Kong, disc herniation is common among office workers due to prolonged sitting, poor posture, and high stress levels.
Lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise and poor weight management also increase the risk.
Chiropractic Solutions for Disc Herniation
Chiropractic care provides safe, non-surgical solutions for disc herniation.
At Asia Pacific Spine Center, we use flexion-distraction tables — specialized chiropractic beds that gently stretch and mobilize the spine.
This reduces pressure on the discs, improves spinal alignment, and relieves nerve compression.
Unlike painkillers that only mask symptoms, flexion-distraction therapy addresses the root cause, supporting long-term recovery.
Advanced Technology — Medical-Grade Inversion Table
In addition to flexion-distraction therapy, we incorporate a medical-grade inversion table.
By safely positioning the body at an angle, inversion therapy reduces spinal load, improves circulation, and enhances disc hydration.
This method helps relieve pressure on herniated discs and supports natural healing.
When combined with chiropractic adjustments, inversion therapy offers a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to disc herniation management.
