I started to have back pain a year and a half ago, and then found out through x-ray and MRI that I have a slipped disc.

Shortly after the scan, the pain subsided and only comes up if i slept in the wrong position or stress out my back.

However, recently the pain has returned whenever i stand after sitting. Plus the tingling feeling down my left leg (left nerve compressed due to slipped disc).

My question is, where should I go to treat this? I went through a few physio sessions that taught me the stretches and exercises to strengthen my lower back.

But what I'm looking for is a proper 'fix' to it or at least make the pain more bearable.

The options I have in mind are :

a) meet the specialist at a hospital/probably asked to do physio

b) see a chiropractor

c) see a tit tar specialist

i introduce you to this sifu.

he is really good n affordable but be warned, the massages r gon be painful.

I had sciatica some 13 years ago, very severe, cant even sit upright. Was flat 2 months straight lying down. Then i was introduced to a tit tar sensei in section 17 PJ. He applied some herbs plants etc that he grinded to a paste and gave some pills also made from herbs. Within 2 weeks can walk. But have to wear a lumbar support belt. The belt can buy from any pharmacy. Mt left sciatica nerve was so quiet badly pinched i can feel the pain from the left buttock right down to my 3rd, 4th and last toe that became numb.

Problem is you can never carry anything heavey for the rest of your life or the sciatica can return. 4 years ago my son sat on my lap and my chair almost tumbled and i got it again.

My mom suffering from this. Multiple discs from neck all the way to lower back. Doctor don't want to operate due to age factor and other health complications. One time the pain was unbearable, we resort to epidural injection. The pain subside after the injection for 3 years. Last month the pain is back. Unable to put epidural now as she is taking aspirin for blood clot in her brain. Doctor said can't inject epidural when on aspirin and she can't stop aspirin.

I found a chiropractor in my city (Sungai Petani). Back from UK 6 months ago. Just after 2 sessions, she doesn't has any pain now. I suggest you should find for a good chiropractor and do some adjustment. This is will help the nerve from getting pinched by the disc. PM me if you need contact details for this Chiropractor and if you are willing to come to Sungai Petani.

'slipped disk' is most probably a disk herniation (rupture). My experience is that the cause is that your spine is not supported sufficiently. I had a couple of episodes of this when I was younger. I did some research and read a book on the subject (the internet was in it's infancy). The book recommended strengthening your abdominal muscles so they support your spine. It worked for me, very occasionally I have a back ache but nothing that stays with me.

I doubt that any manipulation/massage can have any long term affect and may cause more harm than good.
