Question:
What is the safest treatment of a slipped disc. spine operation? ozone? yoga or acupressure?
Answers:
It really depends on exactly what is wrong with your disc. Many people think they have a "slipped" disc and they don't. You need a MRI if you haven't had one yet.
Yoga can be good, but some poses can make the problem worse, so you need to find out the extent of the disc problem (is it a bulge, a herniation or an extrusion?)
Most people with even mild to moderate disc problems do not end up with back surgery, even after they see an orthopedic or neurosurgeon... good surgeons will tell you to exercise, go to physical therapy or try chiropractic first, and then if it doesn't get better, to come back & see them.
I see many non-surgical back pain patients & get a lot of referrals from the doctors in my city.
Go get a good evaluation of your back by a reputable chiropractor- find one who works well with other physicians.
I refer out when I need to, be it to physical therapy, orthopedist, neurologist, etc...
good luck.
