Slip Disc Treatment in Indore

Slip disc surgery, expertly performed by Dr. Ameya Rangnekar, is a specialized procedure aimed at addressing the debilitating symptoms caused by a herniated or slipped disc in the spine. This condition, also known as a disc herniation or disc prolapse, occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc protrudes through its tough outer layer, putting pressure on nearby nerves. Slip disc surgery aims to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve overall spinal health by relieving nerve compression and stabilizing the affected spinal segment.

Benefits of Slip Disc Surgery:

• Pain Relief: Slip disc surgery offers significant relief from the sharp, shooting pain associated with a herniated disc, enabling patients to experience improved comfort and mobility.
• Nerve Decompression: By removing or repositioning the herniated disc material, slip disc surgery relieves pressure on spinal nerves, alleviating symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness in the limbs.
• Restoration of Functionality: With the restoration of spinal stability and alignment, slip disc surgery facilitates improved movement and functionality, allowing patients to engage in daily activities with greater ease.
• Prevention of Complications: Addressing a slipped disc surgically helps prevent further complications such as muscle weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, and long-term nerve damage.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: The comprehensive relief provided by slip disc surgery enhances patients’ quality of life by reducing pain, restoring mobility, and promoting overall spinal health.

Symptoms Addressed by Slip Disc Surgery:

• Severe Back or Neck Pain: Persistent pain that radiates from the spine to the extremities, often exacerbated by movement or prolonged sitting or standing.
• Numbness and Tingling: Sensations of numbness, tingling, or pins and needles in the arms, hands, legs, or feet, indicating nerve compression.
• Muscle Weakness: Weakness or difficulty moving certain muscles, particularly in the legs or arms, due to nerve compression or damage.
• Limited Mobility: Difficulty bending, twisting, or lifting objects due to pain and stiffness in the spine.
• Bladder or Bowel Dysfunction: Rare but serious symptoms that may indicate severe nerve compression requiring immediate medical attention.

Procedure:

• Preoperative Evaluation: Dr. Ameya Rangnekar conducts a thorough assessment, including a physical examination and diagnostic imaging, to determine the extent of the disc herniation and plan the surgical approach.
• Surgical Techniques: Slip disc surgery may involve various techniques, including microdiscectomy or minimally invasive spine surgery, aimed at removing the herniated disc material and decompressing the affected nerves while preserving spinal stability.
• Recovery Process: Following surgery, patients undergo a period of recovery and rehabilitation, including physical therapy, to strengthen the spine, improve flexibility, and prevent future disc herniations.
