- Slip Disc Treatment in Pimpri Chinchwad
The disc is a shock absorber that is found in the spine both in the neck, mid back and lower back. These discs have a tough outer core and soft insides. As these discs lose their hydration they become more prone to injury.
Disc injuries are either contained or ruptured.A contained disc is often called a bulged disc and may cause pressure on the spinal nerves creating various symptoms.. A non contained or ruptured disc usually can irritate the spinal nerves with fluid that is exposed to the nerve. In fact the outer shell or a fragment can break off and cause tremendous pain and irritation.
CAUSES:
degenerative disc disease is part of the natural process of growing older. As we age, our intervertebral discs can lose their flexibility, elasticity, and shock-absorbing characteristics. For others, degenerative disc disease can stem from an injury to the back.
SYMPTOMS:
Degenerative disc disease may cause back and/or leg pain due to nerve compression as the space is reduced between the intervertebral segments especially L5-S1 which can show symptoms such as tingling or numbness in your legs or buttocks, or difficulty walking.
TREATMENT:
- Pain control focuses on reducing pain from the damaged disc and helping you return to your daily activities. Methods of pain control may include anti-inflammatory medications, manual manipulation, steroid injections, electrical stimulation, back braces or heat/ice therapy.
- Physical therapy can help stretch and strengthen the right muscles to help the back heal and reduce the frequency of painful flare-ups.
- Lifestyle modifications, such as changing your posture, losing weight or giving up smoking, can sometimes help reduce stress on the damaged disc and slow down further degeneration.
