Best Doctors for Slip Disc Treatment in Kurnool

Slip disc is also referred to as herniated or prolapsed disc. In brief, it is just a soft, jelly-like middle part of the spinal disc that protrudes out because the tougher outer coat gets ruptured. Mostly, it affects the lower portion of the back but at times occurs at the top of the back. The causes comprise of age related degenerative wear and tear, lifting heavy weights or any such abrupt movements. Pains are sharp and vary between back or neck pains but involve numbness, tingling, and weakness in arms or legs. The location depends on how the situation deteriorates with movement, coughing, or sitting for long periods. Diagnosis primarily is through a physical examination but sometimes through imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans that may locate the affected disc. All of the treatment include rest, physiotherapy, pain medicines, lifestyle changes to include exercises and correct posture. Most would require surgery in highly affected individuals in order to somehow relieve some pressure on their spinal nerves.
