Been told you’ve got a “slipped disc” and now feel like you need to avoid bending or lifting?

Here’s the truth: discs don’t actually slip.

In this video I break down:
• What people really mean by a “slipped disc”
• The difference between a disc bulge and a disc herniation
• Why MRI findings don’t always match your pain
• How disc resorption works
• What actually supports recovery
• When symptoms need urgent medical attention

Many people with zero back pain have disc bulges on MRI. That doesn’t mean your pain isn’t real — it means scans need to be interpreted in context. In many cases, fear and avoidance keep back pain going longer than the disc itself.

If you’re dealing with back pain, a disc bulge, herniation, or sciatica, this will help you understand what’s happening and what to do next.

Important:
Progressive leg weakness, numbness around the saddle area, or changes in bladder or bowel control require urgent medical assessment.
If this resonates, share it with someone who’s been told they have a “slipped disc.” It might completely change how they view their back.
