A slip disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer ring of the disc. This can put pressure on the nerves in the spine, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the neck, back, arms, and legs.

Slip discs are caused by the wear and tear of the spinal discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae. This can happen due to aging, lifting heavy objects, repetitive motions, or trauma.

Aging: As we age, the spinal discs lose water and become less flexible. This makes them more likely to rupture and herniate.

Lifting heavy objects: Lifting heavy objects incorrectly can put a lot of strain on the back and neck muscles. This can lead to a herniated disc, especially if you lift with your back instead of your legs.

Repetitive motions: Repetitive motions, such as those performed in manual labor jobs, can also damage the spinal discs. This is because the discs are constantly being compressed and stretched.

Trauma: Trauma, such as a car accident or fall, can also cause a herniated disc. This is because the sudden impact can damage the spinal discs.

The symptoms of slip discs vary depending on the location of the herniated disc and the nerves that are being compressed. Some common symptoms include:

• Pain in the back, neck, arms, or legs
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
• Muscle weakness
• Difficulty walking or standing
• Loss of bladder or bowel control

Yes, slip disc can be cured without surgery in many cases. Non-surgical treatments are often effective in relieving pain and improving function. However, surgery may be recommended if non-surgical treatments have not been effective or if there is significant nerve damage.

Yes, slip disc can heal permanently in many cases. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and to avoid activities that could aggravate your condition.

Slip discs are typically diagnosed based on the patient’s medical history and physical examination. Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, and CT scans may also be used to confirm the diagnosis.

There are a variety of non-surgical slip disc treatment options available in India. Some of the most common options include:

• Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help to strengthen the muscles in the back and improve range of motion. This can help to reduce pain and improve function.
• Chiropractic care: Chiropractic care can help to improve range of motion and reduce pain in the neck and shoulders. It can also help to reduce inflammation and improve nerve function.
• Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with slip discs.
• Massage therapy: Massage therapy can help to relax muscles and reduce pain and inflammation.
• Injections: Injections of corticosteroids or other medications can be used to reduce inflammation and pain.
• Traction: Traction is a type of therapy that uses gentle force to stretch the spine. This can help to relieve pressure on the nerves and reduce pain.
• Regenerative medicine: Regenerative medicine treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy are being studied as a way to promote healing and reduce pain in people with slip discs.

The fastest way to recover from a slipped disc is to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and to avoid activities that could aggravate your condition. This may include resting, taking medication, and doing physical therapy exercises.
