Slip Disc / Herniated Disc: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery

A slipped or herniated disc occurs when disc material bulges or protrudes and may irritate nearby nerves. Symptoms can include back pain, sciatica, tingling or weakness.

What we assess and consider

Neurological and movement examination; imaging when indicated; non-surgical care may include guided activity, medication and physiotherapy; procedures or surgery are considered for selected cases.

Common reasons for assessment

  • Back pain with leg pain (sciatica)
  • Tingling or numbness in an arm or leg
  • Symptoms that persist or affect function
Recovery and next steps: Treatment depends on symptoms and examination. Progressive weakness or new bladder/bowel changes needs urgent assessment. Treatment decisions are made after an individual clinical assessment; not every patient needs surgery.
