Who this service is for

Adults and active individuals with diagnosed or suspected slipped/herniated/prolapsed disc

Pain radiating to arm or leg (radiculopathy/sciatica), numbness, tingling, or weakness

Patients advised surgery who wish to try conservative care first, or those recovering post–disc surgery

What the Slip Disc Physiotherapy service includes

1. Comprehensive Assessment

Detailed history and posture analysis

Neurological screening (reflexes, strength, sensation)

Spinal movement and nerve tension tests to identify the affected level and stage of disc irritation

2. Individualized Treatment Plan

Based on your symptoms and MRI/clinical findings, we create a phased program that evolves with your recovery.

3. Pain Management & Early Mobility

Activity modification and positions of relief

Gentle mobilization, neurodynamic glides, and graded movement

Electrotherapy as needed (e.g., TENS/IFT, heat/cryotherapy) for pain and muscle spasm control

4. Targeted Therapeutic Exercises

McKenzie-based extension/centralization exercises to reduce disc pressure and shift pain centrally

Core stabilization (deep abdominals, multifidus) and lumbar/ cervical strengthening

Flexibility work for hamstrings, hip flexors, thoracic spine, and chest

Posture correction and ergonomic advice for sitting, lifting, and desk work

5. Manual Therapy & Advanced Techniques

Myofascial release, soft-tissue mobilization, and trigger-point therapy

Spinal mobilization and nerve mobilization techniques where appropriate

Taping and bracing guidance for short-term support during flare-ups

6. Functional & Return-to-Activity Training

Graded walking, stair climbing, and functional task practice

Work-specific and sport-specific conditioning

Long-term spine health and relapse-prevention plan

Typical recovery timeline (non-surgical)

Exact duration varies with severity, age, and consistency, but a common pattern is:

Weeks 1–2: Pain control, gentle movement, activity modification

Weeks 3–6: Mobility, early strengthening, improved nerve tolerance

Weeks 6–12: Functional strengthening, posture retraining, return to normal activities

3+ months: Maintenance exercises and lifestyle changes to prevent recurrence
