How can i prevent disc pain from disc slide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conservative care: A "slipped disc" can often with time, so conservative treatment such as physical therapy (including strengthening and stretching) and anti-inflammatory medications often helps. It would also be reasonable to try massage, ice or heat, or over the counter creams such as aspercreme or capsaicin creme. If your symptoms do not improve, spinal injections or even surgery may be warranted.
