Q. What are the treatment procedures available to treat a slipped disc?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Slip discs can be solved through medicines and physiotherapy for three to four weeks. I suggest you follow the following instructions while appearing for your exams:

1. Sit on a flat surface and wear LS (lumbar-sacral) belt. Avoid sitting continuously for more than 30 minutes. Try to walk every 30mins and then sit back.

2. Apply the hot pack with local application of Diclofenac (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) ointment following hot water fomentation twice a day. This helps in reducing the pain.

3. Avoid sitting or lying on the floor.

4. Do stretching exercises for the lower back every morning.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
