What Causes a Slip Disc? Can You Get Relief
from the Pain without Surgery?

  • Your spinal cord consists of bones, which are
    also called vertebra. Each bone is cushioned with
    discs to absorb the shocks from our daily
    activity. These discs have two other parts,
  • Soft gelatinous part
  • Tougher ring part
  • These two parts have been balanced perfectly. Due
    to any minor injury or accident, if any of the
    discs gets misbalanced, you will feel an intense
    pain on your back. This situation is known as
    Slip disc in the medical term.

Slip Disc Causes
  • The misbalance of any of the discs can happen due
    to several reasons.
  • Lifting heavyweights in the gym or any other
    objects anywhere else can cause a slipped disc.
  • It could happen at work or while shopping.
  • A very common reason for slip disc is your
    posture.
  • You can get a slipped disc while playing sports. 
  • Obesity can cause a slipped disc. As you gain
    weight it puts more pressure on your discs.
  • You will get the slip disc problem as you get
    older. With age, the protective gel starts to dry
    out. It causes imbalance.

Slip Disc Diagnosis
  • There are some symptoms of slip discs, such as
  • Intense pain in the body
  • Pain in your legs and arms
  • If you are spending sleepless nights due to the
    pain
  • Back pain after walking
  • In such cases, you should first get in touch with
    your doctor. Slip disc treatment Singapore is one
    of the finest in the world. After examining you,
    the doctor will prescribe an X-ray or CT scan or
    MRI scan, depending on the situation of every
    individual. After going through your reports,
    they will tell you how to proceed to the next
    step.

Slip Disc Treatment
  • Slip disc can be treated in many ways. If the
    pain is very serious, the doctor might allow you
    to take muscle relaxers or narcotics or pain
    killers or maybe they will give you an injection
    to relax the muscles. But, all these are
    temporary solutions. The pain will decrease for
    sure. But its not permanent. It could show up
    after a week or month or year. But it will come
    back unless you take serious steps against it.
  • Even the doctors of best pain management
    Singapore will tell you that the best treatment
    of slip disc is physical treatment. No medication
    can guarantee benefits from slip disc problems.
    Here in this article, we are going to tell you
    about some non-surgical measures to stand up
    against slip disc.

Non-Surgical Slip Disc Treatment
  • There are a few core exercises, which are greatly
    beneficial against slip disc. Core muscles
    support our lower spine and keep it stabilized.
    Most of the pain occurs due to weak core muscles.
    You may consult a licensed physiotherapist for
    the exercises. Do not try to do them on your own
    as it might worsen your situation.
  • Apart from core exercises, electrotherapy is also
    a very good treatment. In electrotherapy, light
    electrical stimulations are sent to the muscles.
    It targets the impacted nerve in the back. It
    helps to block the pain signal to reach our
    brain. It also influences endorphins, which work
    as a pain-relieving hormone. Electrotherapy
    includes laser therapy, Transcutaneous Electrical
    Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Interferential
    therapy (IFT). 
  • Myofascial release is a very popular
    pain-relieving technique. It has proven to be a
    very good therapy for slip disc pain. It is
    almost like massaging, where adequate pressure is
    applied in our back to provide necessary stretch
    to the strained muscles.
