Lumbar Slip Disc / Sciatica

Lumbar Slip Disc / Sciatica

A lumbar slip disc occurs when the soft cushion between the lower back bones moves out of place and presses on nearby nerves. This nerve pressure often causes pain that travels down the leg, known as sciatica. Many people experience sharp lower-back pain, leg pain, tingling, or numbness that makes daily activities difficult. With early care and the right treatment plan, most patients recover well without long-term complications.

Symptoms of Lumbar Slip Disc / Sciatica

Common symptoms include lower-back pain that worsens with bending or sitting, pain radiating to one leg, tingling or numbness in the foot, muscle weakness, and difficulty standing or walking for long periods. In severe cases, patients may feel sudden shooting pain during movement.

Types of Slip Disc

A slip disc can range from mild bulging to complete disc herniation. A bulging disc slightly presses the nerve, while a herniated disc leaks inner material onto the nerve, causing more intense sciatica symptoms. Both conditions can be managed effectively with timely treatment.

Treatment and Process

Initial treatment usually involves rest, medication, and physiotherapy to reduce pain and inflammation. If symptoms persist or nerve compression becomes severe, advanced options such as minimally invasive spine procedures or endoscopic techniques may be recommended. These procedures focus on removing the pressure from the affected nerve through tiny incisions, allowing faster recovery, less pain, and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
