Advanced Spine Care by Dr. Laxmikant Anantrao Bhople
Slip Disc
A slip disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, occurs when the soft inner portion of a spinal disc pushes out through its outer layer. As a result, nearby nerves may become compressed, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.
Depending on the location, slip disc can affect the cervical spine (neck) or the lumbar spine (lower back). Therefore, accurate diagnosis and timely spine care are essential to prevent long-term nerve damage and disability.
Keeping this in focus, Dr. Laxmikant Anantrao Bhople offers advanced slip disc treatment in Nanded with a strong emphasis on pain relief, nerve preservation, and functional recovery.
Cervical vs Lumbar Slip Disc
Slip disc symptoms and treatment vary based on spinal level. Because of this, precise evaluation is required.
Cervical Slip Disc (Neck)
- Neck pain radiating to shoulders or arms
- Tingling or numbness in hands or fingers
- Weak grip strength
- Difficulty in neck movements
Lumbar Slip Disc (Lower Back)
- Severe lower back pain
- Pain radiating to legs (sciatica)
- Numbness or weakness in legs or feet
- Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting
After identifying the affected level, a customized treatment plan is created.
Symptoms That Require Spine Specialist Consultation
Slip disc symptoms may worsen gradually. However, ignoring early signs can lead to nerve damage. Common warning symptoms include:
- Persistent neck or back pain
- Radiating pain to arms or legs
- Tingling or numbness
- Muscle weakness
- Loss of bladder or bowel control (emergency)
If these symptoms occur, immediate neurosurgical evaluation is strongly recommended. By intervening early, surgery can often be avoided.
Advanced Slip Disc Treatment Options
Modern spine treatment focuses on relieving nerve compression while preserving spinal stability. Accordingly, Dr. Bhople follows evidence-based spine care protocols.
Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatment
In many cases, surgery is not immediately required. Therefore, initial treatment may include:
- Medications for pain and inflammation
- Physiotherapy and posture correction
- Lifestyle and activity modification
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
When conservative treatment fails, minimally invasive surgery is considered. As a result, patients experience:
- Smaller incisions
- Less muscle damage
- Faster recovery
- Shorter hospital stay
Microscopic Discectomy
Using high magnification, the herniated disc material is safely removed. This technique significantly reduces nerve pressure and pain.
Advanced Cervical & Lumbar Spine Procedures
For complex cases, stabilization procedures may be advised. Thus, long-term spine health and mobility are preserved.
