A slip disc (herniated or bulging disc) is a painful spinal condition that can make sitting, bending, or walking feel impossible. Fortunately, over 90% of slip disc cases can be successfully treated without surgery. In Dehradun, advanced non-surgical spinal rehabilitation is helping patients recover their active lifestyle.
What is a Slip Disc?
Your spine is cushioned by small, rubbery discs that act as shock absorbers between vertebrae. A slip disc occurs when the soft gel-like center of a disc pushes through a tear in the tough outer ring. This gel can press against nearby spinal nerves, causing severe localized back pain or radiating leg symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat are the common symptoms of a slip disc in the lower back?
Symptoms include sharp lower back pain, radiating pain down one leg (sciatica), numbness or tingling in the thigh or calf, and leg muscle weakness.
QIs bed rest recommended for a slip disc?
Strict bed rest for more than 48 hours is discouraged, as it causes muscle stiffness and weakness. Gentle active movement and walking, guided by a therapist, speed up recovery.
QCan a herniated disc heal on its own?
Yes. The body can resorb the herniated material over time. Physiotherapy speeds up this process, manages pain, and prevents recurrence by strengthening your core.
