A member asked:
My sister who's a chiropractor and she said that i may have a slip disc. is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: With this little information. Slipped or herniated discs can be as minor as only some short term pain to severe as causing paralsysis and everything in between. Recommend having imaging like an mri, especially if you are having any weakness in any limbs.
