Treatment for a slipped disc usually involves a combination of rest, medication, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery. Resting the affected area and avoiding activities that aggravate the pain can help to reduce symptoms. Pain medications, such as over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or prescription painkillers, can also help to manage pain and inflammation.
Physical therapy and exercise can help to strengthen the muscles surrounding the affected disc and improve flexibility and range of motion. Surgery may be recommended if conservative treatments do not provide relief or if the slipped disc is causing nerve damage.
