12 Signs of a Disc Injury | Dr David Brown DC | ProBack Surbiton
Dr David Brown DC, Clinical Director & Chiropractor at ProBack Chiropractic Clinics Surbiton gives you 12 signs to watch out for if you've got a disc injury.
1. First of all the pain is there all the time, the levels can vary but there are no periods without any pain
2. Secondly the pain is often only on one side
3. So for example in the leg it radiates down the leg and
4. It's a dead giveaway when it then radiates past the knee
5. The pain is often sharp on movement
6. and it's at it's worst when getting out of a chair, so from going from sitting to standing up for example
7. The pain kicks in very much in the first degrees of movement, so the first 30 degrees of bending forward especially are bad
8. It tends to actually be a little bit better when going backwards into extension
9. Twisting movements are also commonly an issue
10. As is pain first thing in the morning when you get up
11. In fact it's normally quite bad whenever you get moving again from a period of inactivity
12. Lastly the classic is when you get pain when you cough or sneeze

Hey there super quick one today. How can you tell if you've got a disc injury?
I'm going to give you twelve things to watch out for which when added up suggests that the discs are damaged.
As you may know my team at ProBack pretty much specialise in helping people with disc damage and trapped nerves.
About 50% of our cases involve sciatica alone. So to know what treatment is best it's super important for us to differentiate between a disc that is damaged and pain that is from a simple mechanical issue. So here we go,
1. First of all the pain is there all the time, the levels can vary but there are no periods without any pain
2. Secondly the pain is often only on one side
3. So for example in the leg it radiates down the leg and
4. It's a dead giveaway when it then radiates past the knee
5. The pain is often sharp on movement
6. and it's at it's worst when getting out of a chair, so from going from sitting to standing up for example
7. The pain kicks in very much in the first degrees of movement, so the first 30 degrees of bending forward especially are bad
8. It tends to actually be a little bit better when going backwards into extension
9. Twisting movements are also commonly an issue
10. As is pain first thing in the morning when you get up
11. In fact it's normally quite bad whenever you get moving again from a period of inactivity
12. Lastly the classic is when you get pain when you cough or sneeze
So there you have it I've given you the inside scoop on what we docs are looking out for when we're diving into your history.
