Discs don’t slip, they never have, and they never will!
Please know that our spinal discs are firmly secured between our vertebrae. They can’t slip out of place.
Medical and rehab practitioners have to stop using this harmful language. It can cause individuals in pain to question the robustness of the spine.
If you have back pain and a healthcare practitioner explains that you have ‘slipped a disc,’ please do not allow this statement to cause you stress. Our spinal discs change with age and can be injured, but they cannot slip out of place.
