Treatment for Slipped Disc
The spinal column is made of up 26 bones, the vertebrae. In between each of them, are present, structures called intervertebral discs that act as shock absorbers. These discs have two parts, the inner portion, and the outer portion. The inner portion is soft and gelatinous whilst the outer ring is tough. The inner portion of the disc can sometimes herniate to the outer portion due to weakness or injury. This is known as a slipped or herniated disc. There are times when the slipped disc compresses on one of the nerves emerging from the spine causing numbness and pain along the area of the affected nerve.
Doctors have pinned age as a factor in many of the cases. In addition, smokers are also more likely to get slipped discs because smoking makes the discs lose their natural flexibility. Furthermore, overweight people are also more likely to suffer from a slipped disc because their disks have to support extra weight than they can handle.
The symptoms are based on the location of the disc affected.

A slipped disc treatment is mainly targeted at relieving the symptoms associated and prevention of further recurrence.
Treatment For Slipped Disc in Contemporary Medicine (Allopathic Treatment)
To relieve the symptoms of this problem, conventional treatment comprises of using pain killers or traction. These treatments are not always successful and the user might need to undergo invasive procedures like epidural injections to help avoid further complications. If it is not responding to any of these interventions, surgery to the spine to remove the protruding disc, or to increase the space for the emerging nerve with or without fusion of the vertebrae is recommended.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Slip Disc:
Ayurveda offers a very tangible alternative that works in almost any case of a prolapsed or slipped disc. Ayurvedic medications comprising of herbal decoctions, tablets, capsules and oils for external application are very effective in providing relief in patients with mild to moderate problems.
