Restoring Spinal Integrity
A "Slip Disc" (technically known as a herniated or prolapsed disc) occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher exterior. This can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg.
At Trinay Orthopedic Hospital, our primary goal is to relieve the pressure on your nerves and allow the disc to heal through natural and clinical processes. We prioritize non-surgical recovery whenever possible.

Degrees of Disc Herniation
Disc Bulge
The disc is slightly compressed but the outer layer remains intact. Usually responds very well to physiotherapy.
Extrusion
Disc material has pushed out and is significantly compressing a nerve. May require targeted injections or micro-surgery.
Our Treatment Strategy
We follow a tiered approach to disc recovery:
- Disc Decompression: Specialized mechanical and manual therapy to reduce internal disc pressure.
- Anti-Inflammatory Care: Targeted medications and epidural blocks to calm "angry" nerves.
- Core Integration: Building a "muscular corset" to support the spine and prevent recurrence.
Avoiding the Knife
Statistically, over 85% of slip disc patients recover fully without the need for traditional open surgery. We exhaust every advanced non-surgical and minimally invasive option first.
