Slip Disc Treatment in Gurgaon

The terms a herniated disc or " prolapsed disc" is also used for a slip disc. A slipped disc occurs when the soft, cushiony disk between the spinal bones slips from its normal position.

The discs serve as shock absorbers, so when the shock absorbers malfunction, they can press against nearby nerves, causing severe pain and other issues, including the inability to feel anything in those areas.

There are other symptoms for each type of slipped disc, depending on where the slip happens and the severity of the slip. Common signs are

• Persistent lower back or neck pain.

• Pain radiating to the legs (sciatica) or arms.

• Numbness or tingling sensation.

• Muscle weakness.

• Difficulty in walking for long.

• Difficulty in prolonged standing.

• Increased pain while bending or lifting.

If ignored, symptoms may worsen over time and affect mobility.

Slip disc usually develops because of slow wear and tear or sudden injury. Common causes include

• Aging and degeneration of spinal discs.

• Poor posture while sitting or lifting.

• Sudden heavy lifting.

• Sedentary lifestyle.

• Obesity.

• Injury or trauma to the spine.

Accurate diagnosis is important for effective treatment. Doctors may recommend

• Physical examination to evaluate the pain level as well as movement.

• MRI scan to get detailed images of the spine.

• CT scan or X-ray to rule out other conditions.
