Discover top-tier care for slipped discs, also known as herniated discs, at Aster Whitefield Hospital. Here's what our comprehensive approach entails:
Accurate Diagnosis:
Our expert doctors employ a range of techniques to diagnose slip discs with precision. Through thorough physical examinations and advanced imaging tests like MRI scans, we assess the extent and location of the herniation, ensuring targeted treatment.
Non-surgical Treatments:
At Aster Whitefield Hospital, we prioritize non-surgical solutions for slip disc management. These may include:
Medications: Strategically prescribed pain relievers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation.
Physical Therapy: Our personalized exercise regimens strengthen core muscles, enhance flexibility, and correct posture, promoting natural healing and preventing future issues.
Activity Modification: Recommendations for activity adjustments safeguard against further herniation and support the healing process.
Injections: In select cases, corticosteroid injections deliver targeted relief by reducing inflammation around the herniated disc.
Surgical Intervention:
Should conservative measures fall short, our skilled spine surgeons excel in minimally invasive procedures tailored for slip disc treatment. Options may include:
Microdiscectomy: Precise removal of bone and ligament creates space for the bulging disc material to remove, alleviating nerve pressure.
Endoscopic Discectomy: Utilizing a minimally invasive approach, a specialized instrument removes herniated disc material through a small incision.
