Treatment for Slip Disc

Yesterday we discussed symptoms and causes of Slip Disc.Today we will discuss the different treatment modalities to be followed at different stages.Once Slip Disc has been confirmed by the Doctor,the first line of treatment prescribed is short rest along with
few pain killers.After few days physiotherapy sessions are to be taken.Most of the patients get relief at this stage itself.For long term measures,this should be supported by lifestyle changes-better posture at work,healthy diet and regular exercises.Those who don't get relief from these are given special injections which are non invasive procedures designed to provide patient relief from recurring back pain.
Finally surgery may be considered,if the pain does not go away with these treatments and time.
