Expert At-Home Spinal Rehabilitation with Myo Physio at Home

What is a Slip Disc?

A slip disc, medically known as a herniated or prolapsed intervertebral disc, occurs when the soft, jelly-like center (nucleus pulposus) of a spinal disc pushes out through a tear in the outer layer (annulus fibrosus). This condition can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness—most commonly in the lower back (lumbar spine), but also in the neck (cervical spine) or mid-back (thoracic spine).

What are Causes of a Slip Disc?

A slipped disc may result from a combination of aging, poor posture, and excessive strain:

🏋️ Heavy lifting or sudden twisting
🪑 Prolonged sitting with poor posture
🔁 Repetitive bending or spinal strain
🧓 Disc degeneration due to age
⚠️ Sudden injury or trauma
⚖️ Obesity and lack of core strength

Common Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

Symptoms depend on disc location and nerve involvement, including:

⚡ Sharp, shooting pain in the back, buttocks, or legs (sciatica)
🔥 Burning or tingling sensations down the limbs
❄️ Numbness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
💪 Weakness in specific muscle groups
🧱 Stiffness or reduced flexibility in the spine
🪫 Pain worsening with coughing, sneezing, or bending

1.Can a slipped disc heal without surgery?

Yes. In 80-90% of cases, conservative care like physiotherapy can fully resolve symptoms.

2.How long does recovery take?

Mild cases may improve in 2–4 weeks, while chronic or severe herniation may need 6–12 weeks.
