Lower back pain has become one of the most common health problems in modern society, especially in large cities like Dhaka. Long working hours, sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, lack of exercise, and increasing stress levels have significantly contributed to spinal disorders. Among these conditions, PLID (Prolapsed Lumbar Intervertebral Disc) is one of the most painful and disabling problems affecting people of all ages.
PLID can severely interfere with daily life, making it difficult to sit, stand, walk, or even sleep comfortably. Many patients fear that surgery is the only solution. However, with advancements in physiotherapy and non-surgical pain management, PLID can now be treated effectively without surgery. In Dhaka, specialized physiotherapy centers such as ASPC Manipulation Therapy Centre are providing advanced, evidence-based treatment that helps patients return to a normal, pain-free life.
What is PLID?
PLID, or Prolapsed Lumbar Intervertebral Disc, occurs when one of the discs in the lower spine slips, bulges, or herniates out of its normal position. These discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. When a disc becomes damaged, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness, particularly in the lower back and legs.
PLID is often associated with nerve compression, which leads to symptoms such as sciatica, restricted movement, and chronic discomfort. If left untreated, the condition can worsen and significantly reduce a person’s quality of life.
Common Causes of PLID
- Prolonged sitting with poor posture
- Heavy lifting with improper technique
- Sudden twisting or bending movements
- Obesity and lack of physical activity
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Repetitive strain on the lower back
- Previous spinal injuries
Office workers, drivers, garment workers, and individuals with desk-based jobs are particularly vulnerable due to long hours of sitting and limited movement.
Symptoms of PLID
- Persistent lower back pain
- Pain radiating to the legs (sciatica)
- Increased pain during bending/sitting
- Tingling or numbness in legs/feet
- Muscle weakness in extremities
- Difficulty standing for long periods
- Restricted spinal movement
- Sleep disturbances due to pain
- Reduced ability to walk distances
Importance of Physiotherapy in PLID Treatment
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing and treating PLID. Unlike painkillers that only provide temporary relief, physiotherapy addresses the root cause of the problem by reducing nerve compression, improving spinal alignment, strengthening muscles, and restoring mobility. Modern physiotherapy focuses on non-surgical, minimally invasive techniques that help patients recover safely and effectively.
