What Is a Herniated Disc?
Aherniated disc — also called aslipped disc, bulging disc, or ruptured disc — occurs when the soft, gel-like centre of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in its outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in your back, neck, arms, or legs. At Nexus Pain & Spine, Mumbai, we see patients struggling with herniated discs daily, and the good news is that most cases can be resolved without surgery.
Common Causes of Herniated Disc
- Age-relatedwearand tear (disc degeneration)
- Sudden heavy lifting with poor posture
- Repetitive bending, twisting, or sitting for long hours
- Road traffic accidents or sports injuries
- Obesity placing excess pressure on spinal discs
- Smoking, which reduces disc nutrition and accelerates degeneration
Symptoms You Should Not Ignore
The symptoms of aherniated disc vary depending on which part of the spine is affected:
- Lower back pain that radiates down one or both legs (sciatica)
- Sharp, shooting pain while coughing, sneezing, or sitting
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot
- Neck pain that travels down the arm or into the fingers
- Difficulty in walking, standing straight, or climbing stairs
- In severe cases: loss of bladder or bowel control (emergency)
How We Diagnose a Herniated Disc at Nexus
Our pain specialists begin with a thorough clinical examination and review of your medical history.
Depending on your symptoms, we may recommend:
- MRI Scan — the gold standard for visualising disc herniation
- CT Scan — to assess bony changes or spinal canal narrowing
- X-Ray — to check spinal alignment and disc space height
- Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS/EMG) — if nerve damage is suspected
Our Non-Surgical Herniated Disc Treatment Options
1. Targeted Pain Medications
We customise anti-inflammatory and neuropathic pain medications to reduce disc-related inflammation and provide immediate relief while your disc heals.
2. Epidural Steroid Injections
Image-guided epidural injections deliver concentrated anti-inflammatory medication directly compressed nerve root. Many patients experience 70–90% pain relief within days.
3. Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Our physiotherapists create a personalised exercise programme to strengthen your core muscles, improve posture, and reduce pressure on the affected disc
4. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
For patients with chronic disc-related facet joint pain, RFA uses heat energy to interrupt pain signals — offering relief lasting 12–18 months.
5. Prolotherapy & PRP Injections
Regenerative treatments that stimulate healing in damaged disc tissue and surrounding ligaments, particularly useful in early-stage herniation.
When Is Surgery Considered?
Surgery is a last resort. We recommend it only when conservative treatments fail after 6–8 weeks OR when there is progressive neurological deficit (muscle weakness, loss of bowel/bladder control). Even then, we prefer minimally invasive options.
