Here is a brief description about my case study on Disc Slip.
My name is Anil Kumar Jain and basically i am from Ghaziabad
(India), From last 15 years I am dealing with Disc Slip, Cervical,
Sciatica, Migraine, Back Pain, Neck Pain, Old Injury Pain cases and now i
have enough experience to provide treatment in these cases without any

In most cases, a slipped disc will eventually shrink back spontaneously. Any pain will usually ease as the disc stops pressing on the affected nerve.
It usually takes four to six weeks to recover from a slipped disc. Most people will need to do some gentle exercises and may need to take painkilling medication.
Keeping active
It is very important that you keep active if you have a slipped disc.Initially, it may be difficult to move around and if you are in severe pain, you may need to rest completely for the first couple of days.
However, after this period, you should start to move around as soon as you can. This will keep your back mobile and speed up your recovery.

Movement and exercise will also help to strengthen any muscles that have become weak. Avoid any activities that could aggravate your condition such as those that involve:
- reaching
- lifting
- sitting for a prolonged period of time
Physiotherapy
As part of your treatment programme, you may be referred to a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who use physical methods, such as massage and manipulation.A physiotherapist will be able to draw up an individually tailored exercise plan for you. This will keep you active, minimise pain and help prevent any further damage to your back.

Osteopathy and chiropractic
Some people choose to try osteopathy or to see a chiropractor. Both types of therapy are used to treat back pain.Osteopathy and chirpractic are not widely available on the NHS and you will usually have to pay for treatment privately.
Read more about osteopathy and chiropractic.
Medication
You may be prescribed a number of different medicines to help ease any painful symptoms of a slipped disc. These are outlined below.Analgesics
Analgesics are painkillers, such as paracetamol. They are available over-the-counter from pharmacies, or on prescription.Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before using analgesics.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, diclofenac and naproxen, can help relieve pain and reduce any inflammation.NSAIDs may not be suitable for people with hypertension (high blood perssure), asthma, heart failure, or kidney failure. Again, you should always read the manufacturer’s instructions before use.
Read more about NSAIDs.
Codeine
Codeine is a stronger painkiller that is often taken in combination with paracetamol. It is usually only prescribed when other painkillers and NSAIDs have not worked.Codeine can cause side effects, such as constipation (an inability to empty your bowels).
Corticosteroids
Corticosteroids are a type of medication that contain hormones (powerful chemicals that have a wide range of effects on your body). They may be injected into your lower spine to help reduce inflammation.Read more about corticosteroids.
Muscle relaxants
You may be prescribed a muscle relaxant, such as diazepam, to take for a few days if your back or leg muscles are very tense.Surgery
Surgery is required in about 1 in 10 cases of a slipped disc. It may be considered if:- there is evidence of severe nerve compression
- your symptoms have not improved using other treatments
- you are having difficulty standing or walking
- you have very severe symptoms, such as progressive muscle weakness or altered bladder function
Some of these procedures are explained in more detail below.
Open discectomy
An open discectomy is a procedure to remove part or all of the slipped disc. It will be carried out under anaesthetic (painkilling medication).An incision is made in your spine and the disc is removed. For more information about this type of surgery, see the lumbar decompressive surgery topic.
Prosthetic intervertebral disc replacement
Prosthetic intervertebral disc replacement involves having a prosthetic (artificial) disc inserted into your back to replace the slipped disc.An incision is made in your spine and the damaged disc is either partially or completely removed. A replacement disc is then inserted into the space.
One study found that 87% of people felt their quality of life had improved three months after having a prosthetic intervertebral disc replacement. However, as the procedure is still quite new, long-term results are not yet available.
Endoscopic laser discectomy
During endoscopic laser surgery, a small incision will be made to gain access to the spine and an endoscope will be used to view the disc. An endoscope is a long, thin, flexible tube with a light and camera at one end.The procedure is performed under either local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic, depending on where in your spine your slipped disc is.
After the incision has been made, the compressed nerve that is causing you pain will be released and part of your disc will be removed with a laser.
A study has found that 67% of people could move around more easily six months after having endoscopic laser surgery, and around 30% needed less pain relieving medication. Around 2-4% of people needed another operation.
Another study reported that after having endoscopic laser surgery, on average, people returned to work after seven weeks.
As endoscopic laser surgery is still a relatively new procedure, it is often only performed with special arrangements – for example, as part of a clinical trial (a type of medical research that tests one type of treatment against another).
Recovery
For most people with severe symptoms of a slipped disc, back surgery helps to ease their symptoms.You will usually be able to return to work after two to six weeks. However, the surgery does not work for everyone, and you may need to have further operations and treatment if the initial surgery is not effective.
Possible complications resulting from surgery may include:
- infection
- nerve injury
- haemorrhage (severe bleeding)
- temporary dysaesthesia (impaired sense – for example, losing the sense of touch)
One review of a number of studies found that exercise programmes which started four to six weeks after surgery on the lumbar spine (lower back), helped to decrease pain and improve a person's ability to function
