Slip Disc Treatment in Ratlam

Understanding Slip Disc Treatment in Ratlam

Dr. Ashish Kumar Dwivedi brings specialist slip disc treatment in ratlam within reach of every patient in Ratlam. A slip disc — medically called a herniated or prolapsed disc — occurs when the soft cushion between two spinal bones bulges out and presses on a nearby nerve. This pressure causes pain that can radiate from the back into the arms or legs, often with numbness or weakness. While the term sounds alarming, the encouraging reality is that the vast majority of slip disc cases heal without surgery. Dr. Ashish Kumar Dwivedi guides patients through the right treatment for their specific situation.

Dr. Dwivedi's Approach

Dr. Dwivedi's philosophy on slip disc is conservative-first: physiotherapy, posture correction, medication, and time resolve about 80% of cases. When surgery is truly needed — for severe nerve compression or persistent disabling pain — he offers endoscopic and microdiscectomy techniques that remove only the offending disc fragment through a tiny incision.

Symptoms & Warning Signs

Early detection is key. The warning signs to look out for include:

• Back pain radiating into the leg or arm
• Numbness or tingling along the nerve path
• Muscle weakness in the affected limb
• Pain worsened by sitting, coughing, or sneezing
• Difficulty bending or standing straight
• Sharp, shooting or burning pain
• In severe cases, bladder or bowel changes (urgent)

The Procedure & What to Expect

Dr. Dwivedi explains every step before proceeding. Generally: When surgery is needed, microdiscectomy or endoscopic discectomy removes the herniated portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerve. This is done through a small incision under magnification, freeing the nerve while preserving the rest of the disc and spinal structure.

Recovery & Aftercare

The recovery process is guided every step of the way. Most patients managed conservatively improve over 4–6 weeks. Those who undergo minimally invasive surgery often experience immediate relief of leg pain and return to light activity within 2–3 weeks. Core strengthening and posture training help prevent recurrence.
