Discs don’t slip! We often hear people say — “Mujhe slipped disc ho gaya hai!” But here’s the truth 👇 Your spinal discs are soft, cushion-like pads between the vertebrae. They act like shock absorbers — allowing your spine to move, bend, and twist smoothly. Now, these discs don’t literally slip out of place. What actually happens is: the soft, jelly-like center of the disc (nucleus pulposus) pushes out through tiny cracks or weak spots in the outer layer (annulus fibrosus). This is called a disc bulge or disc herniation — not a “slipped disc.” When that bulge presses on a nearby nerve root, it can cause pain, tingling, or even numbness — commonly radiating down the leg (sciatica) or arm (in cervical cases). 👉 But here’s the good news: Not every disc bulge needs surgery. With proper posture correction, exercises, medications, or sometimes spinal injections, most people recover beautifully. So next time someone says “slipped disc,” you’ll know — discs don’t slip, they bulge! 💪 #BackPain #DiscHerniation #SpineAwareness #SpineSurgeon #ReelItFeelIt #DocTalks #SpineCare #PostureMatters #slipdisc
