PROLAPSED DISC & HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT
PAIN in the back due to a “slipped disc” (also called herniated disc) can be very agonizing and can affect one’s life in many ways. It can affect even the essential movements like sitting, standing and walking; causing sharp shooting pain in the problem area. In severe cases, relentless pain can occur even with simple movements, causing one to lie down in one position for hours and days at a time.
Homoeopathic treatment can be very effective in both acute and chronic cases of the slipped disc problem. It can even be a big boon for the patients as it can save advanced cases from the surgeon’s knife.
What exactly is slipped disc and how can it cause such pain? Our spine comprises of mainly the bones (vertebrae), the discs and the spinal cord. Bones (vertebrae) are stacked one on top of each other to form the backbone. Through these vertebrae passes the spinal cord. Discs are a kind of cushions that are positioned between two vertebrae. They act as a shock absorber in the spine. These discs are round and flat in shape and are made up of tough outer covering which surrounds a jelly-like material called nucleus.
Although the slipping of the disc can occur due to a trauma like over-stretching or lifting weight, etc, it is difficult to pinpoint one single cause for it. This problem often occurs due to gradual degeneration of the disc and is related to the aging process. Gradually, over a period of time, as we age, the discs lose their water content, and the outer shell as well as the inner nucleus become stiffer and brittle. As the discs wear out, their outer covering becomes more prone to getting torn. The problem occurs when the outer covering of the discs get torn and the nucleus moves out to irritate the nerve passing by. The pain can be felt in the back, hips or even legs. This is called as slipped disc.
Although this problem can occur anywhere in the backbone, the lumbar area (lower back area) is more prone to it.
Homoeopathic treatment of slipped disc is usually based on the symptoms that are presented in an individual case. For example, in an individual with the “slipped disc” pain travelling down to the leg, the homoeopathic medicine prescribed will be different from an individual who has pain confined to the back.

Homeopathy is much more of a choice than people often think it to be. One of its philosophy’s greatest breakthroughs is the realization that the body is not an object but a process with no pre-ordained limits. The scorching, cruel heat of summer was just setting in the first year of the new century
