Slipped Disc (Herniated Disc)

Exercise & Physiotherapy – In early stage, some back exercises are very helpful to maintain a muscle strength & tone. Targeted back & core strengthening exercises protect your back by building deep abdominal & lower back muscles that absorb daily loads & reduce pressure on the vertebrae and disc.

At AREVA, we specialise in advanced interventional pain management for back & spine conditions, using precise, image-guided (C-ARM or IITV) procedures to target the source of pain, providing relief in back pain without the need for major surgery. Many treatments are performed as day-care procedures, enabling patients to return home the same day & resume normal activities with minimal downtime. Our goal: Precise treatment, faster recovery & lasting improvement in quality of life. Facet Joint Block – When pain originates from the facet joints (located between each vertebra), a specific type of injection called a facet joint injection, to diagnose & treat pain by reducing inflammation. The pain, commonly associated with facet arthritis & mechanical back pain. Transforaminal Block / Selective Nerve Root Block – A targeted image-guided injection delivered near an irritated spinal nerve root to reduce inflammation & pain, particularly in conditions such as sciatica, slipped or herniated disc & radicular pain. Medications are injected into the neural foramen, the opening through which the spinal nerve exits the spine, & placed close to the affected nerve root. The medication spreads around the nerve root within the epidural/perineural space, helping to reduce inflammation & relieve pain. Interlaminar Epidural Injection – Medication is injected into the epidural space through an interlaminar approach to help reduce inflammation around spinal nerves. It may be considered for radicular pain, sciatica & selected spinal pain conditions. Medial Branch Block – A precise, image-guided injection around the small medial branch nerves that carry pain signals from the facet joints. It can help determine whether the facet joints are a significant source of back or neck pain & may also be used as part of the treatment pathway toward RF neurolysis. Caudal Epidural Injection – Medication is delivered into the epidural space through the sacral opening at the base of the spine. It may be used for lower back pain, sciatica & certain forms of nerve-root irritation Radiofrequency Ablation (RF Neurolysis) – A minimally invasive procedure that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain signals from selected nerves, most commonly the medial branch nerves supplying painful facet joints. It provides longer-lasting relief in appropriately selected patients. At AREVA At AREVA, we assess slip disc and related spinal nerve pain to identify the likely source of symptoms and develop an individualized treatment plan. Depending on the clinical findings, treatment may include medication, rehabilitation, image-guided epidural injections or selective nerve-root procedures. Our aim is to relieve pain, improve mobility and support recovery while avoiding unnecessary surgery whenever appropriate.
