Chapter 6: Good Posture and Slipping Discs – Debunking the Myths
The term “slipped disc” is one of the biggest misconceptions in healthcare. In this chapter, we clarify that discs do not actually slip - instead, they bulge, herniate, or degenerate under excessive pressure. The real question is: what causes this pressure, and how can we prevent it?
A major factor is posture. Poor posture creates uneven loads on the spine, increasing strain on the intervertebral discs and leading to pain and dysfunction over time. But good posture isn’t just about standing up straight - it’s about dynamic movement, proper spinal alignment, and engaging the right muscles to support the spine.
We explore how Neural Re-Education (NRE) plays a role in correcting movement patterns, teaching the body to distribute forces more efficiently and reduce disc stress. Practical strategies include spinal mobility drills, core strengthening, and lifestyle adjustments that promote movement longevity and disc health.
The key takeaway? Discs don’t slip, they bulge. Understanding this is the first step toward long-term spinal health and pain-free living.
