Disc Bulge

• Patients with a bulging disc may suffer a quick onset of back pain during the causative action; discomfort and stiffness are also prevalent following the provoking activity, particularly the following day.
• Symptoms are usually felt in the lower back and might be centrally or unilaterally placed. Radicular discomfort in the buttocks, thigh, lower leg, or foot is possible.
• There may also be muscle spasms, pins, and needles, numbness, or weakness. 
• Activities involving lifting, bending, prolonged sitting, or sitting to stand generally aggravate symptoms. Coughing, sneezing, and twisting may also increase symptoms.
• Some individuals may have no symptoms.

Our main objective is : 

1. Empower the patient to decrease one’s dependency on clinicians and medications. 

2. Correct Guidance

3. Prevention of future Relapses

The most important thing about back pain is an accurate and timely diagnosis. SpineMantra's approach to lower back pain is comprehensive and personalized, Mckenzie's approach is followed and scientifically proven.

Before starting the treatment, A thorough medical assessment is done to understand the present condition. The clinician takes a detailed history of the present condition, aggravating and relieving factors, rules out red flags, posture and movement assessment regarding the symptoms, and Neuro assessment. The clinician makes the patient do specific repeated or sustained movements to see their effect on the symptoms or baselines that the clinician recorded during the assessment.

Classification is based on assessing the symptomatic response during repeated or sustained movement testing. Most patients' symptoms are classified into derangement syndrome, dysfunction syndrome, postural syndrome, or other. The choice of exercises in MDT is based on the direction that causes the symptoms to decrease, centralize, or abolish.

Based on the above assessment, Treatment sessions are prescribed. Most back pains are mechanical, so it takes 4 weeks to recover.

Treatment involves finding a repeated or sustained movement that reduces and/or abolishes the symptoms. Next, the goal is to maintain this improvement for several days. Finally, the patient performs recovery of function by having the patient do once pain-provoking movements to determine if they are pain-free.

Patients with Acute pain are also administered Electrotherapeutic modalities for 3-4 sessions to reduce pain and inflammation.

Along with the specific medical movement, targeted exercises are performed, such as particularly addressing the required muscle to improve daily functions.

The next step of our treatment is to RECOVERY OF FUNCTION ➕

In the recovery of function, the main aim is to achieve all the movements or the functions that have been stopped initially to achieve flexibility of the spine so that the patient can return to their everyday life.

Prevention: The prevention step consists of educating and encouraging the patient to exercise regularly and practice self-care so that he can effectively prevent future episodes of pain.

Our team employs a thorough diagnostic process, including:

Detailed Patient History: Gathering comprehensive information about your medical history and lifestyle to understand your unique situation and to rule out underlying severe medical conditions (if any).

Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination, such as assessing posture, range of motion, and neuro examination, is done to identify areas that need attention.

Imaging Tests: Utilizing X-rays or MRIs to gain a deeper understanding of the physical condition of your spine.
