A slip disc occurs when a spinal disc bulges or ruptures and presses on nearby nerves, causing back or leg pain, tingling, numbness or weakness. It commonly affects the lower back and may result from injury, strain or wear and tear. At Alpha Ortho, slip disc treatment may includes both non surgical and surgical solutions. such as medicines, physiotherapy, posture correction, epidural injections or surgery when needed. Get expert advice from Dr. Yogin Patel or Dr. Gaurav Ranglani in Kandivali and Vile Parle, Dr. Ashish Naik in Vashi and Panvel, or Dr. Pratik Bhujbal in Dombivli, one of the best spine surgeons in Mumbai.
A slip disc, also called a herniated disc, occurs when the soft cushion between the spinal bones bulges or ruptures. This may put pressure on nearby nerves, causing back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, often extending into the legs. It can result from injury, age related changes, or repeated strain. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
The symptoms of a herniated disc vary depending on its location in the spine and which nerves are affected. Common symptoms include:
If you experience these symptoms, especially severe pain, weakness, consult a spine doctor in Mumbai & Navi Mumbai.
A slip disc does not always require surgery. Many patients feel better with simple non-surgical treatments that help reduce pain, improve movement, and support recovery.
Physiotherapy: Exercises recommended by a physiotherapist can strengthen the back muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pressure on the affected disc.
Medications: Our doctor may prescribe pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medicines, or muscle relaxants depending on your symptoms.
Epidural Steroid Injections: These injections can help reduce inflammation around the affected nerve and provide relief when pain is severe.
Lifestyle Changes: Maintaining a healthy weight, improving your posture, avoiding heavy lifting, and staying active can help protect your spine and reduce the chances of the problem coming back.
Other Supportive Treatments: Depending on your condition, your doctor may also suggest manual therapy or other treatments to help manage your symptoms.
Most patients can improve without surgery. However, if the pain does not improve, or you develop significant weakness or other nerve-related symptoms, our doctor may recommend further treatment.
Most slip disc cases can be managed without surgery. However, if pain continues despite treatment, or there is significant nerve compression, weakness, or other serious symptoms, surgery may be considered. The Alpha Ortho spine team will first assess your condition and recommend surgery only when it is appropriate.
Endoscopic Spine Surgery: This procedure uses a small incision and a tiny camera to reach and remove the part of the disc pressing on the nerve. It can mean less tissue damage, smaller scars, and a quicker recovery for suitable patients.
Microdiscectomy: This surgery removes the portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerve, helping relieve leg pain and other nerve-related symptoms.
In selected cases, robotic technology can help the Alpha Ortho spine team plan and perform surgery with greater precision. The approach depends on the patient’s condition and the type of spine problem being treated.
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and aims to reduce damage to the surrounding tissues. For suitable patients, it may offer several benefits:
Faster Recovery: Smaller incisions may mean less pain after surgery and a quicker return to normal activities.
Less Tissue Damage: The procedure is designed to avoid unnecessary damage to the muscles and tissues around the spine.
Less Scarring: Smaller incisions usually result in smaller scars compared with traditional open surgery.
Shorter Hospital Stay: Depending on the procedure and the patient’s recovery, some patients may be able to go home the same day or the next day.
Better Surgical Precision: In selected procedures, robotic technology can help the surgical team plan and perform the procedure with greater accuracy.

Yes, it is possible to have herniated discs at more than one level of the spine. However, not every herniated disc causes pain or other symptoms. A doctor can check your symptoms and scan reports to find out which disc is causing the problem.
If you are dealing with pain from a herniated disc, call Alpha Ortho at 088889 43964 for a spine consultation.
You may be able to drive if your pain is under control and you can sit comfortably, move your legs normally and react quickly when needed. Long periods of driving can put extra pressure on the spine, so it is better to take breaks and avoid driving if pain or weakness affects your control of the vehicle.
If driving is uncomfortable or your symptoms are getting worse, you can call Alpha Ortho at 088889 43964 for an evaluation.
Try to sleep in a position that keeps your back comfortable and does not increase your pain. Many people find side sleeping with a pillow between the knees helpful. If you prefer sleeping on your back, placing a pillow under your knees may also reduce strain on the lower back. Choose the position that feels comfortable for you.
If your back pain is disturbing your sleep, you can call Alpha Ortho at 088889 43964 to discuss your symptoms.
Yes, many stable spinal fractures can be treated without surgery. Depending on the injury, treatment may include pain medicines, bracing, activity modification and physiotherapy.
