Using the power of innovative science and modern technology, Dr SW Clinic can help you live your best pain-free life without the need for invasive surgery.
Your spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae, the bones that form the foundation of your spine. Positioned between these vertebrae are pliable discs that serve as shock absorbers during activities like walking, running, or jumping. These discs play a crucial role in safeguarding your spinal column.
Normally, these spinal discs are approximately half an inch thick. However, they may become thinner due to degeneration or the loss of their protective outer layer, leading to the term “collapsed” discs. When this occurs, the disc’s ability to effectively cushion spinal movement diminishes, resulting in pain and related symptoms. This natural process is typically associated with ageing.
The collapse of a disc can increase pressure on the nerves within your spine, potentially causing pain, numbness, and tingling sensations in an arm or leg, as well as discomfort in the neck or back. This condition most frequently affects the discs in the lower back and neck.
At Dr SW Clinics, we can treat a range of pain conditions using Regenerative Medicine and pain-relieving injections. If you are tired of living with pain and looking for a non-surgical intervention, then Dr SW Clinics could help you get back to your optimal quality of life.

FAQ's
A collapsed disc can result from a combination of factors, primarily related to the natural ageing process and wear and tear on the spinal discs. As we get older, the spinal discs naturally undergo degenerative changes. Over time, the discs lose water content, become less flexible, and may develop small tears or cracks in their outer layers. This can lead to a reduction in disc height.
When a disc loses height or herniates, it can put pressure on spinal nerves, leading to symptoms such as back pain, sciatica (pain radiating down the leg), numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. The specific symptoms and severity can vary depending on the location and extent of the disc problem.
Depending on the joint issue you present with, there may be a couple of ways to diagnose your pain and thereby find you a lasting solution.
Firstly, you will have a telephone consultation with one of our highly trained patient advisors. This patient advisor will ask you a series of pre-assessment questions to better understand your personal needs.
You will then be invited for a consultation with one of our leading experts. To better gain an understanding of the problem, the Consultant may suggest you receive an x-ray or an MRI.
What is an x-ray?
A diagnostic test that can help identify what issues are causing the pain.
What is an MRI?
A diagnostic test using a magnetic field and radio waves for a detailed image of both joint and soft tissue.
What is an ultrasound?
Typically a handheld device that provides an on the spot image of the soft tissue.
Once we’ve received the results of your diagnostic tests, our team will be able to advise you on next best steps to get you pain free.
