<human>: I've been told that I have a slipped disc. What is this and how can it be treated?
<bot>: A slipped disc is a condition where the spinal discs between two vertebrae in your spine become damaged or displaced, resulting in pain and discomfort. Treatment for a slipped disc usually involves physical therapy, medication, and sometimes surgery. Physical therapy may include exercises to strengthen your core muscles and stretching exercises to help relax tight muscles. Medication can also help relieve symptoms of a slipped disc, such as pain and inflammation. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to remove the affected disc material and stabilize the spine.
