Finding Relief from a Ruptured Disc in the Lower Back: Your Guide to Healing Without Surgery

If you're suffering from back pain, sciatica, or numbness in your legs, you might be dealing with a ruptured disc in your lower back. Also known as a herniated disc, slipped disc, or prolapsed disc, this condition can be extremely painful—but it doesn't have to mean surgery. At Lobacz Chiropractic, we specialize in non-surgical treatment for sciatica and disc injuries, helping patients heal naturally and return to doing what they love.

What Is a Ruptured Disc?

A ruptured disc, also commonly called a herniated disc or slipped disc, occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. This can press on spinal nerves, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness—especially in the lower back and legs.

Is a Prolapsed Disc the Same as a Herniated Disc?

Yes. A prolapsed disc, herniated disc, slipped disc, and ruptured disc are often used interchangeably. They all describe the same condition where the inner gel of the disc escapes its normal space and affects nearby nerves. Regardless of what it's called, the result is the same: discomfort, reduced mobility, and a significant impact on your daily life.

Common Symptoms of a Ruptured Disc in the Back

  • Sharp or burning pain in the lower back

  • Radiating pain down the leg (sciatica)

  • Muscle weakness or numbness

  • Increased pain when bending, sitting, or lifting

  • Difficulty standing up straight or walking
