Slipped Disc Spine Surgery In India At Affordable Cost

 

Slipped Disc Spine surgery

The discs are protective shock-absorbing pads between the bones of the spine. Although they do not actually “slip” a disc may split or rupture. This can cause the disc to fail, allowing the gel to escape into the surrounding tissue. The leaking jellylike substance can place pressure on the spinal cord or on a single nerve fiber and cause pain either around the damaged disc or anywhere along the area controlled by that nerve. This condition is also known as a herniated, ruptured, prolapsed, or, more commonly, slipped disc.

 

Slipped Disc Causes

Factors that lead to injury from a slipped disc include aging with associated degeneration and loss of elasticity of the discs and supporting structures; improper lifting, especially if accompanied by twisting or turning; and excessive strain. Sudden forceful trauma is a more rare cause.

 

Slipped Disc Symptoms

  • For slipped discs in the neck – Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the shoulder, neck, arm, or hand.
  • For slipped discs in the Lower Back.
  • Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the buttocks, back, legs, or feet.
  • Numbness and tingling around the anus or genitals.
  • Pain down the back of each leg from the buttocks to the knee (this is called ciatica).

  • Difficulty controlling bowel movements or bladder function.

Medical Treatment : – The doctor often prescribes bed rest or limited activity for several days followed by gradual increase in activity over the next few weeks…

 

Surgery : – If these measures are not successful within a reasonable time and the tests confirm a herniated disc as the source of symptoms, surgery may be considered.
