What is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc is a physiological disruption of your spine’s shock absorbers. Your spine is composed of vertebrae separated by discs that allow for flexibility and cushioning. When the tough outer layer (annulus) tears due to age, injury, or repetitive stress, the soft inner gel (nucleus) can leak out.
This extruded material presses against sensitive spinal nerves, causing inflammation and pain that travels far beyond the spine itself.
Request a consultation if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.
Dr. Sumit Das’s Evaluation & Treatment
Dr. Sumit Das brings over 25 years of neurosurgical expertise to your diagnosis, ensuring a path to recovery built on precision and care.
Physical Examination
Our evaluation begins with a comprehensive physical exam to test your reflexes, muscle strength, and sensation to understand the functional impact of your symptoms.
Advanced MRI Imaging
We utilize high-resolution MRI imaging to pinpoint the exact level of herniation and the degree of nerve compression, allowing for an accurate clinical roadmap.
Physical Therapy
Targeted exercises and stretches designed to improve spine flexibility, core strength, and overall mobility.
On-Site Injections
Epidural steroid injections delivered right in our office provide powerful anti-inflammatory relief directly to the irritated nerve root.
Medication Management
Strategic use of over-the-counter or prescription medications to help manage acute pain and systemic inflammation.
Surgical Intervention
Procedures like a discectomy are considered only if conservative methods fail, removing the herniated portion to alleviate compression.
Successful Treatment of a Herniated Disc
Sleeping Soundly: No more waking up in the middle of the night from sharp leg pain.
Pain-Free Sitting: Ability to drive or sit at work without discomfort.
Instant Relief: Many patients feel the "electric shock" sensation vanish immediately after treatment.
