What is Slip Disc (Herniated Disc) and Sciatica?
A slip disc occurs when the spinal disc nucleus pushes through the outer ring, irritating nearby nerves and causing lower back pain, leg pain, or sciatic nerve symptoms. Proper home physiotherapy reduces pain, improves mobility, and prevents recurrence.
Common Causes in Delhi NCR Lifestyle
These are the key triggers we see in Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad and Delhi residents who prefer AC rooms and long commutes.
- ✓ Prolonged sitting in traffic and corporate chairs
- ✓ Poor posture while working from home (forward head + rounded shoulders)
- ✓ Heavy lifting without core support (shopping bags, errand loads)
- ✓ Lack of regular back strengthening and core stability exercises
- ✓ High stress leading to muscle guarding and tight hamstrings
