Slip Disc (PIVD)
Curing herniated spinal discs and severe sciatica pain without surgery. We utilize targeted decompression and core stabilization programs.
Non-Surgical PIVD Solutions
A Slip Disc, clinically known as a Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc (PIVD), occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc leaks out through a tear in the outer shell. This protrusion can press directly on the spinal cord or exiting nerves, leading to localized back pain, sciatica, numbness, or leg weakness.
At Shri Shanti Physiotherapy Center, Dr. Pawan Yogi offers advanced non-surgical spinal decompression treatments. Through targeted mechanical traction, spine realignment, dry needling, and core muscle re-education, we reduce the pressure on the compressed nerves, allowing the herniated disc material to retract naturally and heal.
Common Symptoms
- Severe lower back or neck pain
- Shooting leg pain (Sciatica)
- Numbness or tingling in feet/hands
- Weakness in legs or loss of balance
Our Treatment Process
Spine Assessment
Reviewing MRI scans, conducting nerve conduction checks, and locating disc herniation zones.
Decompression
Applying gentle traction and mobilization techniques to increase the intervertebral space.
Pain Control
Dry needling, electrotherapy, and myofascial release to reduce surrounding protective spasms.
Core Stability
Specific exercises (like McKenzie extension) to strengthen the spinal support corset muscles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a slip disc heal completely without surgery?
Yes. Medical research shows that more than 90% of slip disc (PIVD) cases heal successfully through physical therapy, traction, and postural correction without needing surgery.
What is PIVD in physiotherapy terms?
PIVD stands for Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc. In physiotherapy, our goal is to decrease joint pressure on the herniated disc material using mechanical traction, spinal adjustments, and core stabilizing exercises, allowing the disc to retract.
What exercises should I avoid during acute slip disc pain?
During the acute phase, you must strictly avoid forward bending, twisting the spine, and lifting heavy weights, as these actions push the disc further outward and aggravate nerve compression.
