Herniated Disc Treatment

A herniated disc occurs when the soft cushioning material between spinal bones pushes out and irritates nearby nerves, often causing pain that radiates into the arms or legs. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers effective herniated disc treatment in Indore, from conservative care to minimally invasive spine surgery.

About Herniated Disc Treatment

The spine’s intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. A herniated disc happens when the outer layer of a disc weakens or tears, allowing the inner gel-like material to bulge or leak out and press on nearby spinal nerves. This is most common in the lower back and neck, and can cause pain, numbness, or weakness that follows the path of the affected nerve. Most herniated discs improve with conservative treatment over time.

Symptoms of Herniated Disc Treatment

• Sharp or burning pain radiating into the arm or leg
• Numbness or tingling along the nerve pathway
• Muscle weakness in the affected limb
• Pain that worsens with sitting, coughing, or bending
• Localized back or neck pain

Causes of Herniated Disc Treatment

• Age-related disc degeneration
• Improper lifting technique or sudden strain
• Repetitive bending or twisting movements
• Obesity increasing spinal disc pressure
• Genetic predisposition to disc problems

Diagnosis

• Neurological examination to assess nerve function
• MRI to confirm disc herniation and nerve compression
• X-ray to evaluate spinal alignment
• Electromyography (EMG) in select cases for nerve assessment

Treatment Options
