Slipped disc Treatment :-

The vertebrae that make up your spinal column are stacked one on top of the other. The column is made up of seven cervical spine bones, twelve thoracic spine bones, five lumbar spine bones, the sacrum, and the coccyx at the base. Discs support these bones and cushion them. By absorbing the shocks from regular actions like walking, lifting, and twisting, the discs shield the bones from injury. Each disc is composed of an outer ring and a soft, gelatinous interior component. The interior part of the disc may poke through the outer ring due to damage or weakness. A slipping, herniated, or prolapsed disc is what this is. This hurts and is uncomfortable. You might also feel numbness and discomfort along the afflicted nerve if the slipped disc compresses a spinal nerve. If the situation is serious, you might need surgery to remove or fix the slipped disc.

Treatment

A slipped disc can be treated surgically or conservatively. The course of treatment is usually determined by how much pain you're in and how much the disc has moved out of place.Using an exercise regimen that stretches and strengthens the back and surrounding muscles, the majority of people can get relief from slipped disc discomfort. Exercises that might strengthen your back and lessen your back discomfort may be suggested by a physical therapist. Additionally helpful are using over-the-counter painkillers, avoiding strenuous activity, and uncomfortable positions.When you have a slipped disc, it may be tempting to avoid all physical activity, but doing so can cause muscle weakening and joint stiffness. Instead, make an effort to stay as active as you can by stretching or engaging in low-impact sports like walking. Stronger medications may be prescribed by your doctor if the pain from a slipped disc does not go away with over-the-counter remedies. These consist of:
  • 1) drugs that relax the muscles to treat spasms
  • 2) narcotic painkillers, such as gabapentin
  • 3) duloxetine, as well as nerve pain relievers
