Best Doctors for Spinal Disc Herniation Treatment in Visakhapatnam

Spinal disc herniation is a condition in which the disc in the spine slips or ruptures when the soft and cushion-like centre part of the spinal disc is pushed or torn into the outer part. Then it will compress the nerves that are present in the spinal cord. The herniated spinal disc will cause severe lower back pain, weakness, and numbness. The herniated disc will be caused due to injury, bending, strain on the disc due to repetitive twisting, degeneration of discs, and lifting. Spinal disc herniation will be detected through physical examination, diagnostic tests like myelogram, MRI scan, nerve conduction studies, X-rays, and CT scan. The management advised for spinal disc herniation will be with medications to relieve the pain, corticosteroid injections, physiotherapy, and surgery, such as laminectomy, spinal fusion, artificial disc surgery, laminotomy, and discectomy. The preventive measures will be properly lifting objects, stretching, maintaining a healthy weight, maintaining proper posture, regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking.
