What Is The Treatment Of The Slipped Disk Problem?
Hi Doctor, I am having slipped disk problem because of which my entire right leg is paining. I consulted a physio in Fortis hospital, bangalore and took the treatment for around 4 days but did not help much. Can you suggest me what to do to overcome from this issue ?

Hello,
As any slipped disc will take some 4-6 weeks of time. Undergoing, 4-5 days of physiotherapy session will never be helpful.
You need to continue for some time and post that management of the same.
In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most slipped disc requires 4-6 weeks of the time of therapy.
It pain level is high then therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for reducing inflammation and pain.
Post which exercises like - core stability, spinal muscle strengthening exercises, hip muscle strengthening exercises, straight leg raise, static quadriceps, static hamstring and ankle toe movements.
Patients I have seen till date in Bangalore with slipped disc have responded well to a therapeutic plan designed for individuals based on the requirements of the pathology.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
