Slip disc, medically known as Prolapsed Lumbar Intervertebral Disc (PLID), is one of the leading causes of chronic lower back pain and sciatica in Bangladesh. Every year, thousands of people suffer from severe back pain and mobility problems. While many were previously advised to undergo surgery, modern medical science has proven that most slip disc cases can be treated successfully through evidence-based physiotherapy. Under the expert leadership of Dr. Mohammad Shahadat Hossain, PT and Dr. Sapia Akter, PT, ASPC Manipulation Therapy Centre has emerged as the most trusted destination for non-surgical recovery.
What Is a Slip Disc?
A slip disc occurs when one of the intervertebral discs move out of position, bulges, or ruptures. These discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. When they herniate, they press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. While it most commonly affects the lumbar spine (lower back), it can occasionally affect the cervical spine (neck).
Rising Prevalence in Bangladesh
Several lifestyle and occupational factors contribute to the high prevalence of slip disc in our community, particularly in urban areas like Dhaka:
- Long hours of sitting with poor posture
- Desk-based work without ergonomic support
- Heavy lifting without proper technique
- Sudden bending or twisting movements
- Weak core muscles and obesity
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Road traffic accidents and falls
- Manual labor without postural awareness
Common Symptoms of PLID
Early recognition is essential to prevent long-term disability. Patients often experience:
- Persistent lower back pain or radiating leg pain (Sciatica).
- Tingling, numbness, or a burning sensation in the limbs.
- Muscle weakness and difficulty standing or walking.
- Increased pain during bending, coughing, or sneezing.
- Disturbed sleep patterns due to chronic discomfort.
Non-Surgical Treatment at ASPC Centre
Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. At ASPC, we do not rely on MRI reports alone. Our Diagnostic Process includes a detailed pain history, postural analysis, neurological examination, and nerve involvement assessment.
Our Advanced Treatment Techniques:
Personalized sessions to reduce inflammation, improve spinal mobility, and restore normal movement patterns.
Identifying disc loading patterns and mechanical causes to treat the root cause of dysfunction.
A globally recognized approach for centralization of pain and promoting natural disc healing.
Hands-on joint mobilization and muscle release techniques to relieve stiffness and nerve irritation.
Targeting the Transversus Abdominis and Multifidus to improve stability and prevent re-herniation.
Controlled spinal decompression to reduce pressure on discs and relieve leg numbness.
Training in correct habits for sitting, working, and sleeping to ensure long-term spinal health.
Scientific programs for stretching, strengthening, and restoring functional capacity.
Strategic application of heat to relax muscles and cold therapy to reduce acute inflammation.
Guidance on safe lifting, activity modification, and weight management to prevent recurrence.
“Most patients notice improvement within 24–72 hours. Many who were previously advised to undergo surgery are now living pain-free lives through our non-invasive protocols.”
