A slip disc (also called a herniated disc) is one of the most common causes of severe back pain and sciatica.

At Inova Hospital, Lazimpat, we specialize in non-surgical slip disc treatment, helping patients recover without the need for spine surgery.

Treatment is led by Dr. Bimlesh Shah, a leading pain physician in Kathmandu specializing in interventional spine procedures and regenerative therapies.

The spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) separated by soft cushions called discs.

A slip disc occurs when:

  • The inner gel of the disc bulges out
  • It presses on nearby nerves
  • Causes pain, numbness, or weakness

👉 Most commonly affects the lower back (lumbar spine)
