Are you suffering from lower back pain, neck stiffness, or radiating leg pain? It could be a slip disc, also known as a herniated disc. This spinal condition can lead to severe nerve compression if not treated promptly. Dr. Rakesh Raghuvanshi, a leading neurosurgeon in Indore, offers expert diagnosis and effective treatment for slip disc to help you regain pain-free movement.
What is Slip Disc?
A slip disc occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer. This bulging disc can press on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, legs, or arms.

- Pain radiating to legs (sciatica) or arms

Common Causes:
- Poor posture or heavy lifting
- Spinal injuries or accidents
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Sedentary lifestyle

Treatment options include:
- Pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications
- Physiotherapy and spinal exercises
