SLIP DISC

SLIP DISC is a condition when there is a problem in a soft cushion of tissue(discs) that sits between the bones (vertebrae) that stack to make a spine. Each disc has two parts: a soft, gelatinous inner portion and a tough outer ring. Injury or weakness can cause the inner portion of the disc to protrude/pushes out through the outer ring. A person might experience pain, numbness and /or weakness on leg or arm if the slipped disc compresses one of the spinal nerves.

CAUSES

lifting heavy and large item either once or repetitive will place great strain on your back
Wrong posture of the body and prolong sitting or standing posture more than 2 hour in daily life activity
Overweight individuals also high risk in getting slip disc as the disc have to support the additional weight
Natural aging is also causes slip disc as aging causes the disc to lose its original property

Sign & symptoms

Pain and numbness, most commonly on one side of the body
Pain that extends to arms or legs
Pain that worsens at night or with certain movements
Pain that worsen after standing or sitting

Pain when walking short distances
Muscle weakness
Tingling, aching or burning sensations in the affected area

Slip Disc Risk Factors

Weight - Excess body weight causes extra stress on the disks in the lower back
Occupation - People with physically demanding jobs have a greater risk of back problems. Repetitive lifting, pulling, pushing, bending sideways and twisting also can increase the risk of a slip disc
Genetics - Some people inherit a predisposition to developing a slip disc

Smoking - It's thought that smoking lessens the oxygen supply to disks, causing them to break down more quickly
Frequent driving - Being seated for long periods combined with the vibration from the motor vehicle engine can put pressure on the spine
Being sedentary - Regular exercise can help prevent a slip disc

Slip Disc Treatment

hot/cold therapy - Applied to enhance relaxation and reduce pain. It is important to use ice after exercise and after any activity that causes discomfort
TENS - used to relieve the pain. Electric stimulation will helps to improve the blood circulation, thus enhancing the healing process and reducing any swelling or discomfort

Exercise - Stretching and strengthening exercises need to be done regularly. Exercises will restore the movement and maintain the adequate strength and stability of the spine (lumbar) joint
Patient Education :
- Avoid repetitive trunk movements and weight lifting
- Always strengthen your lower back and do not try to play or work through the pain
- Remember to keep on correct posture
