We are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions such as slipped discs, also known as herniated discs. Our team of highly trained medical professionals understands that a slipped disc can cause severe pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area, disrupting your everyday life. Our team will perform a thorough examination, review your medical history, and may also order imaging tests such as an MRI or CT scan to accurately diagnose your condition and assess the severity of your herniation. We prioritize your comfort and well-being. Our treatments for slipped discs are primarily focused on relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and improving flexibility and strength in your back. Initially, we often recommend conservative methods like rest and over-the-counter pain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If these treatment methods do not provide enough relief, our team may prescribe stronger pain relievers or muscle relaxants. Physical therapy is an important part of the treatment process. We will guide you through exercises and stretches designed to reduce pain and inflammation, improve flexibility, and strengthen the back muscles. Not only does this help alleviate current symptoms, but it also prevents future injuries. Along with the treatments, we also encourage lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight to reduce stress on the discs in your lower back and engaging in regular low-impact exercise to improve core strength. These measures not only aid in the treatment but also in the prevention of slipped discs. In cases where conservative treatments do not improve symptoms after several weeks or months, our team will discuss surgical options with you. These options could include a microdiscectomy, where the portion of the disc pressing on a nerve is removed, or, in some cases, the removal of the entire disc and fusion of the vertebrae for spinal stability. At InovoSpine, we are committed to providing the best treatment for your specific condition and lifestyle. With the right treatment, patience, and persistence, we believe that most people can recover from a slipped disc and regain their quality of life.
