Chances of Slipped Disc?? “Sometimes slipped disc is perceived to be an ‘old-age disease’, associated with degeneration “ smiles Dr Gaurav Paiwal, Senior Physiotherapist. “But it can happen to anyone between 15 – 75 years.” “Elderly people, smokers or those who sit for prolonged hours everyday are at an increased risk of developing slipped disc” he adds. “But there’s nothing to worry. With the appropriate treatment, you can go back to your daily activities and even gym” assures Dr Paiwal we had been treating slip disc (all stages, disc bulge, disc rupture, disc protrusion, disc herniation) since 2007 and people are doing all their daily strenuous activities after complete treatment without re-occurance of pain.
