Is It a Slip Disc or Just a Muscle Spasm? Back pain can be alarming, and many people worry they've "slipped a disc." The truth is that not all back pain is caused by a disc problem. A muscle spasm, joint irritation or ligament strain can also cause significant back pain and stiffness. While the symptoms may feel similar, the underlying cause can be different. It's also important to remember that many people have disc bulges on MRI without experiencing any pain. This is why a detailed clinical assessment is often more valuable than relying on symptoms or scans alone. Seek medical attention promptly if you experience: ✔ Pain radiating into the leg with increasing weakness ✔ Loss of bladder or bowel control ✔ Numbness around the groin or saddle area ✔ Severe pain following significant trauma 💡 Dr. Rangwala's Take: The severity of your pain doesn't always tell us what's causing it. A thorough clinical assessment helps identify the real cause and guides the most appropriate treatment. At Rangwala Physiotherapy Centre, we provide evidence-based assessment and rehabilitation for back pain, neck pain, sports injuries and neurological conditions. 📍 Cuffe Parade | Mazgaon 📞 9869001523 | 9029285872 🌐 www.rangwalaphysiotherapy.in
