Slipped Disc Symptoms

A slipped disc can affect people of different age groups, though it is more common in older adults. While some may experience noticeable pain, others might not even realize they have one. Below are the most common symptoms:

• ✔ Persistent lower back pain
• ✔ Difficulty bending forward or straightening the back
• ✔ Pain and numbness on one side of the body
• ✔ Radiating pain in the neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, or feet
• ✔ Pain that worsens at night or after specific movements
• ✔ Discomfort that increases after long hours of sitting or standing
• ✔ Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the affected area
• ✔ Unexplained muscle weakness

Slipped Disc Causes

Several factors can contribute to the development of a slipped disc. The most common include:

• ✔ Natural disc degeneration due to aging
• ✔ Sudden awkward movements or jerks
• ✔ Repetitive heavy lifting
• ✔ Strain from intense physical exercise
• ✔ Physically demanding jobs
• ✔ Obesity combined with lack of physical activity
• ✔ Prolonged vibration from operating heavy machinery or driving

Slipped Disc Diagnosis

Diagnosis of a slipped disc generally begins with a physical examination. The doctor assesses pain points, nerve function, reflexes, muscle strength, and overall mobility. They may also review your medical history and ask about any incident that may have triggered the pain.

To confirm and evaluate the severity, imaging tests are typically recommended, such as:

• MRI – to detect herniated or bulging discs
• X-ray – to rule out bone-related problems
• CT Scan – to capture detailed images of the spine
• Myelogram & Discogram – for specialized disc evaluation
• Electromyogram (EMG) – to test nerve function

These tests help locate the slipped disc, assess its severity, and determine its effect on surrounding nerves.
