Symptoms & Common Causes
Spine-related symptoms may include back or neck pain, stiffness, pain spreading into an arm or leg, tingling, numbness or weakness. Common causes include disc degeneration, disc herniation, muscle strain, facet-joint problems and age-related spinal changes.
How We Diagnose the Problem
A detailed neurological and musculoskeletal examination helps determine whether symptoms are coming from the spine or another source. X-rays can assess alignment and degenerative changes, while MRI or other imaging may be used when nerve compression, disc disease or another specific concern needs clarification.
Treatment Options
Treatment may include activity modification, physiotherapy, posture and movement correction, medicines when appropriate, targeted pain-management procedures and rehabilitation. Surgery is considered for selected patients with persistent symptoms, significant structural problems or neurological compromise.
Recovery & When to Seek Help
Many spine conditions improve with structured non-surgical care. Follow the rehabilitation plan and avoid prolonged inactivity unless specifically advised. Seek urgent medical attention for new or worsening weakness, numbness around the groin, loss of bladder or bowel control, or severe symptoms after major trauma.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slipped disc and how is it treated?
A slipped (herniated) disc occurs when the soft cushion between spinal bones bulges or ruptures, sometimes pressing on nearby nerves. Treatment ranges from non-surgical pain management and physiotherapy to surgery in select cases.
Can a herniated disc heal without surgery?
Many herniated discs improve with time, non-surgical treatment and guided rehabilitation. Surgery is considered when symptoms are severe or persistent.
