The Symptoms of Slip Disc & Its Treatment. Dr. Manu Mengi

A prolapsed disc is normally called a herniated or slipped disc. In such a disorder, the inner substance of the spinal cord bulges out through a weakness or fracture of the outer part of the disc. This bulging disc may sometimes press on the surrounding structures like the nerve that runs within the spinal cord. In certain cases, there is an inflammation around the prolapsed part of the disc, which in turn cases pain. In order to correctly diagnose this problem, a specialist will need to look for the slip disc symptoms. Once it is diagnosed, depending on the extent of the disorder, you will be prescribed with the ideal Slip Disc Treatment in Chandigarh.

 

Causes of slip disc

Disk herniation or slipped disc occurs mostly because of the disk generative disorder. This is an age related disorder which results in the gradual disintegration of the body. As you age, the body, especially the spinal disk will lose its ability to retain fluidity, thus making it less flexible and prone to breakage. Even small actions like a minor strain or twist can result in this disorder. In certain conditions, the exact cause of the herniated disk is not known. Actions like lifting large or heavy objects can even lead to the herniated disc. In rare cases, even a traumatic event where there is a hard blow to the body can result in a herniated disc.

 

Slip disc symptoms

For some individuals, they can only have a herniated disk without even knowing it. This herniated disc can only show up on the spinal images of people who have no symptoms of this problem. Some herniated disks can be painful, but in such cases, there is no pain. Most of the prolapsed disc occurs in the lower back or lumbar spine region although they can also occur in the cervical or neck area. The Slip Disc Treatment in Chandigarh is very important because your movements will depend on it.

 

The most common signs and slip disc symptoms are:

 

Arm or leg pain: If the herniated disk is in the lower back, an intense pain will be felt in the buttocks, thigh and calf regions. In extreme cases, it can even include part of the foot. If the herniated disk is in the cervical or neck region, the pain will normally be felt in the shoulder and arm. This pain may shoot into the arm or leg when you cough, sneeze or move the spine in certain positions.

 

Numbness or tingling: People who have a prolapsed disc often experience numbness or tingling in certain parts of the body or one particular side of the body. This is because the slip disc has affected the nerves that control this particular part of the body.

 

Weakness: Muscles that is served by the affected nerves tend to weaken. This may cause you to stumble, or impair your ability to lift or hold items without reason. This normally occurs without any pain.
