A herniated disc, also known as a slipped disc or ruptured disc, happens when one of the soft, gel-like cushions (discs) between the vertebrae in your spine bulges out or tears.
This can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness — most often in the neck, lower back, or legs (sciatica).
Herniated discs are common and can result from aging, heavy lifting, poor posture, or injury. Many cases improve with conservative care, but severe or persistent cases may require advanced treatments or surgery.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to seek specialized care to avoid permanent nerve damage.
Below is a clear and patient-friendly table of treatment options — highlighted in green & gold:
| Treatment Type | Description | When Recommended | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medications | Pain relievers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs | Mild to moderate pain | Reduces pain & inflammation |
| Physical Therapy | Exercises and techniques to strengthen muscles, improve posture & reduce pressure on nerves | Early or moderate herniation | Improves mobility & prevents recurrence |
| Epidural Steroid Injections | Corticosteroids injected near the spinal nerves to reduce inflammation | Persistent nerve pain | Provides temporary pain relief |
| Chiropractic Care & Manual Therapy | Gentle adjustments and manipulations to relieve pressure | Selected mild cases | Improves alignment & reduces symptoms |
| Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (e.g., microdiscectomy) | Removal of the herniated part of the disc through small incisions | Severe or unresponsive to conservative care | Relieves nerve pressure, faster recovery |
| Spinal Fusion (rare) | Fusing two or more vertebrae to stabilize the spine | When instability is present | Provides stability & reduces pain |
