Introduction

A slip disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its tougher outer layer. This condition often results from wear and tear, aging, or sudden injuries. It commonly affects the lower back (lumbar spine) but can also occur in the neck (cervical spine). Symptoms may include sharp or radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. Severe cases may impair mobility or daily activities. While conservative treatments like physiotherapy, medications, and rest often suffice, severe cases may require surgical intervention. With timely care, most individuals recover fully and regain their quality of life.

Cost Comparison

The cost of slip disc treatment varies widely anywhere in the world, depending on the hospital, the stage of cancer, the type of treatment, the number of therapy sessions required, the patient’s overall health condition, post-operative complications and care, etc. The average cost of slip disc in India is USD $4500.

But be assured as the cost of Slip Disc in India is just a fraction of developed nations.

  • Avg Cost of treatment - $4500

Factors affecting Cost of treatment

  • Severity of the Condition:
    The complexity of the slip disc (mild, moderate, or severe) and associated complications can significantly impact the cost of treatment.

Treatment Type:

  • Non-surgical: Physical therapy, medication, or alternative therapies like chiropractic care.

  • Surgical: Procedures like microdiscectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion are costlier due to the need for advanced techniques and equipment.

  • Hospital Selection:
    Reputed hospitals like Fortis, Max Healthcare, and Artemis with state-of-the-art infrastructure and expert surgeons charge higher fees.

  • Diagnostic Tests:
    Costs of MRI scans, X-rays, or CT scans can add to the total expense.

  • Surgeon’s Expertise:
    Fees for highly experienced specialists and neurosurgeons are typically higher.

  • Length of Hospital Stay:
    Longer stays, especially for post-surgery recovery or observation, increase overall costs.

  • Post-Treatment Care:
    Costs of rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and follow-up consultations also affect the total expense.

  • Type of Accommodation:
    Patient’s choice of room type (general ward, private room, or deluxe suite) adds to the cost.

  • Medical Tourism Packages:
    International patients may incur additional expenses for visa processing, travel, and accommodation.
