Brief Answer: Have you consulted a doctor / taken MRI scan? Detailed Answer: Hi, The corrective treatment for slip disc is surgery alone. Other form of treatment - medication, physiotherapy and alternative forms only aim at controlling symptoms. It wouldn't solve your problem completely. I will need more details from you about which part of the disc has slipped from its place; how this slip disc is affecting your daily life (the symptoms you have); have you seen a doctor / taken MRI scan / any other investigation for the same - if yes, please provide those details. The aforementioned preliminary details will help me to discuss your problem better. Therefore please be as elaborative as possible. Regards
