Discs Donβt Slip!
Back pain is a condition that I see extensively in people and in dogs alike and in both patient groups, it can be debilitating.
In people, it is one of the most common causes of sick leave on an annual basis. There is a plethora of terms to describe back pain including βslipped discβ, βdisc herniationβ, βdisc diseaseβ and βintervertebral disc disease (IVDD)β. All of these terms can evoke fear in patients and owners alike, resulting in the condition being mismanaged by many.
