Herniated Disc

A Silent Pain… With Effective Treatment Options

What Is a Herniated Disc? A herniated disc occurs when the soft disc between the spinal vertebrae moves out of its normal position and presses on nearby nerves. This pressure can cause pain, numbness, weakness in the limbs, and sometimes difficulty with movement.

Most commonly affected areas:

·         Lower back (lumbar spine)

·         Neck (cervical spine)


Symptoms You Should Not Ignore

·         Persistent neck or back pain

·         Pain radiating to the arm or leg

·         Numbness or tingling in the limbs

·         Muscle weakness

·         Difficulty sitting or standing for long periods

!! Ignoring symptoms may lead to worsening nerve damage.


Is Surgery the Only Solution?

No.
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the duration of symptoms. In many cases, surgery is not required.

 Available Treatment Options:

·         Medication therapy to reduce pain and inflammation

·         Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve mobility

·         Targeted nerve injections for pain relief

·         Nucleoplasty:
non-surgical treatment performed using a fine needle under imaging guidance. It reduces pressure inside the disc, relieves nerve compression, and allows faster recovery with minimal discomfort

·         Surgical intervention (only when necessary) for advanced cases or when conservative treatments fail


Modern Treatment, Better Recovery

Thanks to advanced medical techniques, spine treatments today aim to:

·         Minimize pain

·         Avoid unnecessary surgery

·         Shorten recovery time

·         Restore quality of life

 The goal is not only pain relief, but also preserving spinal function and long-term comfort.

 early and accurate diagnosis can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes.
