Nowadays, researchers agree that a damaged or irritable inter-vertebral disc is the most common cause of lower back ache. If the disc protrudes, we call this a slipped or prolapsed inter-vertebral disc. A disc which has suffered degeneration can cause damage to the nerves in the spinal column and contribute diminishing health in the spine, back and adjoining regions.<\/p>\n
Whilst surgical intervention can prove highly effective for some individuals who suffer from lower backache or sciatica, an operation for a slipped disc should be viewed as the very last option. There is a high risk of the operation not being successful. Ineffective back operations have become so common that this phenomenon has acquired its own medical name: Failed Back Surgery Syndrome.<\/p>\n
Good movement of the discs, vertebrae and other structures in the spinal column is essential for healthy inter-vertebral discs. This is also the reason why Chiropractic has such a high success rate for individuals with inter-vertebral problems. The chiropractor often saves them from the torrid prospect of having to undergo an operation. A major survey looked into 1,455 cases of backache resulting from prolapsed inter-vertebral discs which had been solved through chiropractic care.<\/p>\n
