Effective Pain Management for Slipped Discs

Managing pain effectively is a critical aspect of treating slipped discs. A combination of approaches can be used, including:

• Medication: Over-the-counter or prescribed pain relievers help manage pain levels.
• Heat and Ice Therapy: Alternating heat and ice can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
• Rest and Activity Modification: Avoiding activities that worsen the pain and incorporating gentle movements.
• Physical Therapy: Tailored exercises strengthen the back and alleviate pressure on the nerve.

Each patient's pain management plan should be individualized, taking into account their specific symptoms and overall health.
