Slipped Disc (Herniated Disc): Understanding the Condition and Finding the Right Treatment

 A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, is one of the most common causes of lower back pain and discomfort. It can affect anyone, from young professionals to elderly individuals, and if not treated properly, it can significantly impact quality of life. At PVG Hospital’s Center for Orthopaedics, SportsMed & Pain, led by Dr. Sadhan Palakuri, we offer advanced, effective treatments to help you recover and regain mobility.

What is a Slipped Disc?

The human spine is made up of a series of bones called vertebrae, separated by soft, cushion-like discs that act as shock absorbers. These discs allow flexibility in your back and help absorb pressure from everyday movements. A slipped disc occurs when one of these discs is damaged and the inner gel-like portion bulges or leaks out through the outer ring. This can put pressure on the surrounding nerves and lead to symptoms such as:

 Persistent lower back or neck pain

 Numbness or tingling in the limbs

 Muscle weakness

 Difficulty with movement or balance

 Pain that worsens with certain activities

 What Causes a Slipped Disc?

Several factors can contribute to disc herniation, including:

 Aging and degeneration of the spine

 Sudden heavy lifting or improper posture

 Trauma or injury from accidents or falls

 Sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity

 Genetic predisposition
