At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, Dr. Abbie Swank and Dr. Parker Neill specialize in non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, offering effective treatments for conditions like slipped disks. Despite its prevalence, many misconceptions surround slipped disks. This article aims is about debunking common myths about slipped disks and highlight non-surgical treatment options available at our clinic.
Myth 1: Disks Can Slip Out of Place
The term "slipped disk" is misleading. Spinal disks are securely attached between vertebrae and cannot slip out of place. What actually occurs is a herniation, where the inner gel-like core protrudes through the outer layer, causing pain. (Source)
Myth 2: Surgery Is the Only Treatment Option
Contrary to popular belief, surgery is not the sole solution for a herniated disk. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy has shown significant success in treating herniated disks. Studies indicate that 86% of patients with ruptured disks experienced "good or excellent" results with decompression therapy. (Source)
Myth 3: Movement Worsens a Slipped Disk
While rest is essential during acute pain episodes, prolonged inactivity can lead to muscle stiffness and delayed recovery. Controlled, gentle movements and exercises, under professional guidance, can promote healing and improve mobility. (Source)
