🪨 Pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting
🪨 Pain accompanied by fever and chills

A herniated disk or slipped disk is a painful condition that can affect your spinal column. Here are some common signs and symptoms to watch out for:

🙍‍♀️ Numbness or Tingling - You may experience numbness, tingling, or the feeling of pins and needles in the affected area.

🙍‍♂️ Weakness - A herniated disk can cause weakness or difficulty in moving the affected area.

🙍‍♀️ Reduced Range of Motion - You may experience a reduced range of motion in the affected area or difficulty in performing routine activities like bending or carrying.

🙍‍♂️ Muscle Spasms - Muscle spasms are common in people with a herniated disk. The muscles in the affected area can become tense and painful.

🙍‍♀️ Pain that Increases with Movement - You may experience increased pain when bending, twisting, or lifting heavy objects.

🙍‍♂️ Sciatica - If the herniated disk is in your lower back, you may suffer from sciatica, where the pain radiates down the leg due to compression of the sciatic nerve.

If you or someone you know experiences any of these symptoms, don't hesitate to book an appointment with our specialists. Early diagnosis and treatment can help you manage pain and prevent further complications.
