Understanding Slipped Disc

A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, occurs when the soft inner core of an intervertebral disc pushes through its tougher outer layer. This can result in pressure on nearby nerves, leading to symptoms such as:

• Back or neck pain
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
• Muscle weakness
• Difficulty in movement or standing

Treatment Options at Ishaan Ortho & Spine

We offer a wide range of treatments for slipped disc tailored to your specific needs, focusing on relieving pain, restoring mobility, and preventing recurrence.

Non-Surgical Treatments

• Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, and pain relievers to alleviate discomfort and inflammation.
• Physical Therapy: Personalized exercises designed to strengthen core muscles, improve posture, and promote healing.
• Epidural Injections: Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and provide relief from nerve pain.

Surgical Treatments

When conservative treatments are insufficient, surgical options are available to address the underlying issue:

• Microdiscectomy: A minimally invasive procedure to remove the herniated portion of the disc pressing on the nerve.
• Spinal Fusion: A procedure to stabilize the spine in cases of severe disc damage.

Hospitalization Care

For severe slipped disc cases, hospitalization may be necessary in situations such as:

• Persistent, severe pain unresponsive to other treatments
• Progressive weakness or loss of sensation in limbs
• Loss of bowel or bladder control

Our state-of-the-art facilities and compassionate care ensure your comfort and well-being throughout your treatment journey.
