What Is a Slip Disc?

The spine is made up of intervertebral discs that act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae). A slip disc occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a disc pushes through a crack in its tougher exterior. This can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain and discomfort.

Common Causes of Slip Disc:

• Age-related wear and tear (degeneration of discs)

• Sudden injury from heavy lifting or trauma

• Repetitive strain due to poor posture

• Obesity, which increases stress on the spine

• Lack of exercise leading to weak muscles and poor spinal support

Symptoms of a Slip Disc

The symptoms of a slip disc can vary depending on the severity and location of the problem. Common symptoms include:

• Sharp or shooting pain in the lower back, neck, or legs

• Numbness or tingling sensations in arms or legs

• Weakness in muscles, making movement difficult

• Pain that worsens with coughing, sneezing, or bending

• Difficulty standing or sitting for extended periods

How We Diagnose Slip Disc Problems

At Physio Active And Cupping Hijama Centre, we use a detailed process to diagnose slip disc issues:

1. Comprehensive Physical Examination: Assessment of posture, spine mobility, and pain points.

2. Detailed Medical History: Understanding the patient’s lifestyle, activities, and previous injuries.

3. Advanced Imaging (if required): MRI or X-rays may be recommended for precise diagnosis.
