Treatment of herniated discs and back/neck pain in Sharjah
Back and neck pain are among the most common complaints that affect people of all ages, often disrupting daily activities and lowering quality of life. At Emirates European Hospital in Sharjah, we provide advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to effectively manage herniated discs and various causes of spinal pain—without always requiring surgery.
🔍 Understanding the Condition
A herniated disc (also known as a slipped or ruptured disc) occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc bulges out through a tear in its outer layer. This can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs depending on the location of the herniation.
Common causes include:
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Heavy lifting or sudden twisting movements
- Age-related disc degeneration
- Sports injuries or accidents
🧠 Common Symptoms We Treat
- Persistent back or neck pain
- Radiating pain to the arms or legs (sciatica)
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in limbs
- Limited mobility and stiffness
- Muscle spasms or cramping
