A herniated disc, often referred to as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through a tear in the outer layer. This condition can lead to compression of nearby nerves, causing symptoms such as localized back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms or legs. Herniated discs are commonly associated with age-related wear and tear, injury, or excessive strain on the spine. At Khadke Hospital, our experienced spinal specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients suffering from herniated discs, helping them manage their symptoms and regain their quality of life.
At Khadke Hospital, the journey for patients with suspected herniated discs begins with a detailed assessment, including a thorough medical history and physical examination. Diagnostic imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, may be utilized to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the extent of the herniation. Based on the findings, our healthcare team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific condition and needs. Conservative treatment options often include physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications aimed at relieving pressure on the affected disc and promoting healing.
In cases where conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, our specialists may recommend surgical interventions, such as discectomy or spinal fusion. These procedures aim to remove the herniated portion of the disc or stabilize the spine, respectively. At Khadke Hospital, we employ the latest surgical techniques, including minimally invasive approaches, to reduce recovery times and minimize discomfort. Our dedicated team is committed to providing compassionate care and comprehensive support throughout the treatment process, empowering patients to manage their condition effectively and return to their daily activities without pain. With our expertise in treating herniated discs, Khadke Hospital strives to improve the quality of life for every patient we serve.
