As far as slip disc is concerned there are few treatment options available.
Conservative treatment - This is the most likely course of action for most patients. Treatment options include rest, traction, back strengthening and flexibility exercises, short wave diathermy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, weight control, steroid injections in step by step order.
If a patient does not get relief after 8 to 12 weeks of conservative therapy surgical intervention is considered. The most common surgical procedure is a discectomy, which involves removing the soft gel-like material in the disc. This procedure returns the disc to a more normal shape, relieving the pressure on the nerve. The surgeon can also perform a foraminotomy, which is a procedure designed to expand the opening the nerve travels through. The approximate cost of the surgery would depend on the hospital you decide to get operated. You need to confirm this with your orthopaedic surgeon who is going to perform operation.
As far as mediclaim is concerned, you should definitely get the amount of your operation charges plus your postoperative physiotherapy charges also reimbursed by the mediclaim provider if the condition is diagnosed recently (i.e. after taking the mediclaim policy). Still confirm it with your mediclaim provider company.
