A slipped disk, also known as a herniated or ruptured disk, happens when the soft inner gel (nucleus) pushes through a tear in the outer layer (annulus) of the disk. This can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness, often affecting the back, legs, or arms. At The Painex Clinic in Pune and PCMC, we specialize in advanced, non-surgical treatments to help patients recover safely and effectively.
Recognizing the Symptoms
A herniated disk may cause:
- Lower Back Pain: Radiating to the buttocks, thighs, and legs.
- Neck & Shoulder Pain: Especially when the cervical spine is affected.
- Muscle Weakness: Difficulty lifting objects or frequent stumbling.
Did You Know? Many people have herniated disks without symptoms. Accurate diagnosis is key!

Understanding the Causes
Several factors contribute to herniated disks:
- Aging & Degeneration: Disks lose flexibility over time.
- Improper Lifting: Using the back instead of the legs.
- Repetitive Movements: Bending, twisting, or prolonged sitting.
- Heavy Lifting Jobs: Frequent strain on the back.
- Smoking: Reduces oxygen supply to disks, speeding up degeneration.
