Slip Disk

Slipped disc, also known as a herniated or bulging disc. This condition occurs when the soft inner portion of a disc in the spine pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior. This can cause pressure on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. Here are some general points about slipped discs:

Treatment Options:

Rest

Short-term rest may be advised to alleviate acute symptoms.

Medications

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or pain relievers may be recommended.

Physical Therapy

Epidural Steroid Injections

In some cases, corticosteroid injections around the spinal nerves may be recommended for pain relief.
