A slipped disc — also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc — is a common spinal condition that can cause intense back pain, nerve compression, and mobility issues. It occurs when the inner gel-like material of an intervertebral disc pushes out through a weakened or torn outer layer, often pressing on nearby spinal nerves.
Dr. Manjush Ramesh Halbhavi, a skilled Orthopaedic Surgeon with expertise in Spine Disorders, Paediatric Orthopaedics, Trauma, Arthroplasty, and Sports Injuries, offers comprehensive treatment for slipped discs. His patient-focused approach includes precise diagnosis, non-surgical management, and minimally invasive surgical options when needed — all aimed at restoring comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
