Backache / Slipped Disc
Backache is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, affecting individuals of all ages and lifestyles. While back pain can result from muscle strain, poor posture, or everyday activities, one of the more serious causes is a slipped disc (also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc).
A slipped disc occurs when one of the soft cushioning discs between the vertebrae bulges or ruptures, putting pressure on nearby nerves. This can lead to sharp or radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the back, buttocks, or legs. Symptoms often worsen with bending, lifting, or prolonged sitting.
Treatment aims to reduce inflammation, relieve nerve compression, and restore mobility. Options may include physiotherapy, targeted exercises, pain-relief medications, posture correction, and in some cases, advanced medical procedures.
Early diagnosis and proper care can prevent long-term complications and help individuals return to normal activities safely and comfortably.
