What is a DISC BULGE? 🤔💥

The Chiro from The Chiro - Lower Hutt

Commonly referred to as a ‘slipped disc’, a disc bulge occurs when enough stress is applied to the soft, shock-absorbing discs that sit between each vertebrae. The central part of the disc (nucleus pulposus) pushes on the supportive outer layer (annulus fibrosis), causing it to ‘bulge’ past… View moreCommonly referred to as a ‘slipped disc’, a disc bulge occurs when enough stress is applied to the soft, shock-absorbing discs that sit between each vertebrae. The central part of the disc (nucleus pulposus) pushes on the supportive outer layer (annulus fibrosis), causing it to ‘bulge’ past its natural boundary.
The intervertebral discs are important as they ensure optimal movement of the spine, provide cushioning to the spinal column, and allow for translation of force/weight through the spine.
A disc bulge can vary in severity, and therefore also vary in symptomatic presentation. It doesn’t just depend on the size of the bulge, but more so its location and the extent of nerve involvement:

🟣 Mild - may cause no symptoms, or just mild local pain.
🟣 Moderate - causes discomfort and pain, and compensatory muscle response.
🟣 Severe - considerable local pain, and my also press on the nerve root causing neurological symptoms. 💥
Disc bulges can often be managed conservatively with chiropractic care, restorative movement, and strength work. Understanding the repetitive stressors that have contributed to the disc injury is crucial, so that lifestyle modifications can also be made. 🏋️‍♀️
A thorough assessment can provide enough information to determine the extent of the disc involvement, and therefore the appropriate plan of care. However if the disc injury is more severe, referral to a specialist for further diagnostic testing and imaging, like MRI, is likely. 🕵️‍♂️🩻📑
Our spines are not invincible! Ensuring we are doing the best we can to look after them, keep them moving and functioning well, and allow them to adapt to the stressors of our lives more appropriately should be a priority for everyone! 🧠⚡️🙌

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all. Plus, you’ll both receive a $25 Prezzy card.

Susan Williams from Frankleigh Park in New Plymouth has nominated Kathryn Shaw as a Nice Neighbour. She says:
'Kathryn and her partner Chris spent all Waitangi day replacing and repairing our dividing fence, they did such an amazing job. Chris also brought me a load of firewood when I ran out in winter for which I was so grateful. If I ever need a hand with any heavy work or lifting, I know I only have to ask and they are there. There have been so many instances over the years where Kathryn's help has been given, too many to name. I wouldn't swap my neighbours for anyone else this is why I am still here after 20 years.'

Does anyone have any ideas about how a concerned NZ Citizen can register a protest against the probable closure of programmes - Sunday, Fair Go, 1 News, NewsHub? Or any other current issues that are likely to negatively affect future life in New Zealand.
I have tried ringing Chris Bishop's community office 04 566 8580 - I got to leave a message.
Chris Bishop's email is chris.bishop@parliment.govt.nz so I'm about to send him an email regarding my concerns; 1 the probable closure of the above programmes and 2 as per the early radio news this morning that Waka Kotahi no longer need to consider climate change in any decision making in future.

I have new curtains being installed on Monday and need to take down all of the existing curtains. Both the curtain rails and curtains are for sale either together or separately at negotiable (reasonable) prices.

There are two dark grey sets from the lounge (photos 1-4), striped curtains with thermal lining from a bedroom (photos 9-10), cream curtains with a pulley from the dining room (photos 5-8) as well as three other sets of bedroom curtains in the same cream material as the dining room and a set of sheers from one of the bedrooms (photos 11-12).

Feel free to get in touch if you want to come and have a look. I'll be home Saturday afternoon from 1pm and most of Sunday if anyone wants to look at them hanging in place. They could be taken away immediately of they suit - except the main bedroom which would be available from Monday morning. If not taken, they will still be available after the weekend.
