Common causes of Herniated Disc

A herniated disc is a condition where the soft cushioning material between the vertebrae in your spine pushes out through a crack in the tough outer layer, causing pain and discomfort.

  • Aging and wear-and-tear on the spine can weaken the discs, making them more susceptible to herniation.
  • Excessive strain or lifting heavy objects can put pressure on the discs and cause them to herniate.
  • Genetics may play a role in some cases, as certain people are born with weaker discs that are more prone to herniation.
  • Certain sports or activities that involve repetitive motions or twisting of the spine can increase the risk of herniated discs.
  • Obesity and inactivity can contribute to weak back muscles, which may put more strain on the discs and lead to herniation.
  • Traumatic injuries, such as a fall or car accident, can also cause a disc to herniate.

I was suffering from sciatic pain. I tried physiotherapy treatment and started a specific exercise regime - but the pain persisted.I then decided to see an osteopath - Anna - who proved to be fantastic.What I like about Anna's approach is that she constantly reconsiders my symptoms, and then selects the most appropiate therapy. She always explains how and why she chooses it.Anna used massage, manipulation and acupuncture with great results. After 4 sessions I am now pain free and I will continue with maintenance treatment to avoid reccurence of my problems.I always enjoy seeing Anna. She listens carefully to feedback , she is positive and has great interpersonal skills.Hava

Just had a first appointment with Anna for a longstanding knee, shoulder and finger issue via a recommendation from a friend which went really well. Pain free in my knee after massage and acupuncture. Would wholeheartedly recommend Anna Hale at the Henley Osteopaths. 👍👍

I have just had my first appointment with Anna and I’m just blown away with how wonderful she is. I’d almost given up hope with this aged decrepit body but she accomplished so much in one treatment I feel amazing and now feel there is an exciting way forward, thank you so much, see you very soon

Fantastic Osteopath. Narrowed in on my 6 month long issue almost immediately and explained all the various connections in my body that were causing my lower back pain. Managed to get acupuncture as part of treatment and feel great relief. Highly recommend Anna!
Response from the owner: Thank you for leaving a review and delighted I can get you back to a pain-free spine and pelvis.Alleviating your lumbar neuropathy by changing tissues by articulation and acupuncture should soon get you back to an easier lifestyle, despite your incredibly long office hours! 👏

Oh my goodness, Anna is a magician!Ive had shoulder pain for 8 months which I thought was a bad strain. Had 6 sessions of physio but nothing changed and I could not move my arm in a circle. Decided to try osteopathy and chose Henley Osteopaths. I nearly cancelled as I thought it was very unlikely to help, after all physio hadnt.Im so glad I didnt. Anna could feel immediately the problem and within 15 minutes I could move my arm all the way around. Nothing more to be said.ALWAYS try osteopathy and dont wait!Thank you Anna

Amazing! I went in with a locked up back that I have had for about 6 months, she did some amazing manipulation and acupuncture… walking out feeling like a new women… couldn’t get myself booked in again quick enough!!!
Response from the owner: It was lovely to meet you today and I’m so glad to see you bounce out with fluid pelvis and spine after such a long period of chronic pain!

Anna is absolutely amazing and such a lovely lady. I have been suffering for back and hip pain for years and couldn’t believe how much better I felt after just one session. I wish I had been to see her years ago.

Anna is a Godsend. She has helped me enormously over the years when I have had various injuries, or niggles. In just a few sessions I feel human again. Thank you Anna!

Anna has fixed many problems that I have had over the years - including lower and upper back pain, locked shoulder and migraine headaches. Her holistic approach of looking at the overall person and focussing on the root cause means that a small number of appointments have been required to fix my problems. Anna's usage of osteopathy and acupuncture has in every case enabled me to rapidly get on with life.I have no hesitation in recommending Anna to treat a wide range of problems.

Herniated Disc treatment explained

At Henley Osteopaths, we take a holistic approach to treating herniated discs at our Henley-On-Thames clinic. We will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition, taking into consideration your medical history and lifestyle factors. This allows us to tailor a treatment plan that is specific to your needs and aims to provide the best results.

Treatment options may include gentle manual therapies, such as spinal manipulation and soft tissue massage, to alleviate pain and restore proper movement in the affected area. We may also recommend exercises and stretches to help strengthen your back muscles and improve overall spine health.

Treatment Summary

Treatment
The practitioner will use gentle manipulation, stretching and massage to help reduce pain and stiffness.
Number Of Visits
In some cases, a single visit may be enough to reduce pain and discomfort. In more severe or long-term conditions, a course of treatments may be necessary to achieve lasting relief.
Rehabilitation
We will also provide advice on lifestyle changes, such as exercise or ways to improve posture, that can help support recovery.
