A slip disc (herniated or prolapsed intervertebral disc) occurs when the soft inner nucleus of a spinal disc bulges through its outer casing, pressing on nearby nerves. It most commonly affects the lumbar spine (L4-L5, L5-S1) but can also occur in the cervical region, causing pain, weakness, and numbness.
Evidence-based techniques, individually tailored to your severity and recovery goals.
Gentle spinal mobilisation and traction techniques to reduce disc pressure, decompress nerve roots, and relieve pain.
McKenzie method and core stabilisation exercises to centralise pain and build spinal support for long-term protection.
TENS and ultrasound for effective pain management and to reduce nerve inflammation during acute phases.
Release of paraspinal muscle spasm that develops as a protective response to disc pain.
Every case is unique. Dr. Mitali will give you a clear, personalised timeline at your first assessment.
No referral needed. First assessment available this week.
