Suggest Treatment For Slip Disc Problem
Question: I am suffering from Slip-Disc problem for last 6-7months sometimes it pains a lot. Please suggest me any treatment to overcome this.
Brief Answer:
Medications and physiotherapy would help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms.
The symptoms due to slipped disc occurs because of pinching of nerves in the lower back. As a result, there could be back pain, pain in the legs, numbness and tingling in legs/feet, etc.
Initial treatment consists of medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules, that help relieve the nerve pain.
Physiotherapy with pain relief measures such as IFT/ultrasound are also useful.
Once pain is less, back extension exercises should be started.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
