What is the treatment for slipped disc?

Restricted activity: If there is not loss of bowel/bladder/sexual function, progressive loss of motor or sensory function, or intractable leg pain the treatment is a period of restricted activity with or without medications followed by progressive return to activity. The return to activity may include physical therapy.

Slipped disc: Another term for slipped disc is a herniated disc due to the disc rupturing and compressing a nerve. The treatment can be conservative using only physical therapy. In some cases surgery may be indicated to remove the herniated disc.
