Best Herniated Slipped Discs Treatment in Yeshwanthpur

Herniated disc Surgery is a medical technique used to relieve the pain produced by a herniated or slipped disc. This disorder arises when the soft inner core of a spinal disc protrudes through its strong outer shell, exerting pressure on adjacent nerves. Herniated disc surgery's main goal is to reduce the pain, tingling, and numbness that come with this condition so you may regain your mobility and improve your general quality of life. This operation aims to restore function to the injured part of the spine, allowing a return to normal activities and reducing the risk of long-term repercussions by addressing the underlying source of the symptoms.

The surgeon initially performs a comprehensive examination and diagnostic imaging to accurately find the damaged disc during the herniated disc therapy process. Once the herniated disc material has been located, a tiny incision is made, and specialist devices are utilised to remove or reposition it, relieving pressure on the nerves. A less invasive method may be used in some circumstances, allowing for faster recovery periods and less postoperative pain. The surgery is normally concluded with the incision being closed and postoperative care instructions being given. Following therapy, you may notice a gradual improvement in your symptoms, allowing you to continue your everyday activities with greater comfort and improved spinal health.

FAQ's

Symptoms vary depending on the location of the herniation and the nerves affected. Common symptoms include:

  • You might experience sharp pain radiating down the arm or leg, depending on the location of the herniation.
  • You may experience numbness or tingling in the area served by the affected nerves.
  • You may experience muscle weakness or lose reflexes in the affected area.

Several types of herniated disc surgery exist, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The most common types include:

  • Discectomy: This involves removing the herniated disc material.
  • Microdiscectomy: This is a minimally invasive version of discectomy using smaller incisions and specialised instruments.
  • Laminectomy: This involves removing a portion of the bone over the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the nerves.
  • Fusion: This involves connecting two or more vertebrae.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient's general health condition. Most people can expect to experience some pain and discomfort for several weeks after surgery. Physical therapy is usually recommended to help regain strength and flexibility.
