Why Your Slipped Disc Keeps Coming Back – Even After Urut or Treatment (A Malaysian Guide)

If you’ve ever felt this before…

“Lepas urut, rasa lega. Tapi seminggu lepas tu, sakit datang balik.”

You’re not alone.

At My Spine Network, we see many patients from Shah Alam who thought they had “settled” their back pain—only to have it return, again and again. If you’re wondering why your slipped disc keeps coming back, here’s what’s really happening inside your body.

🤔 First, Did You Fix the Pain or the Cause?

Many treatments in Malaysia—especially urut or painkillers—only target the symptoms, not the root cause.

Pain is just the signal.A slipped disc is the real problem—and unless it’s addressed properly, the pain will come back.

🧱 3 Common Reasons Your Slipped Disc Keeps Returning

1. The Disc Never Fully Healed

Slipped discs don’t heal overnight. They take weeks to months to recover, depending on:

• The size of the disc herniation

• Your daily habits (sitting, lifting, posture)

• Whether pressure on the nerve is reduced consistently

❗ Temporary relief ≠ healingYou may feel better after urut or rest, but the disc may still be bulging.

2. Muscle Imbalance Wasn’t Corrected

Most people have tight lower back muscles and weak core muscles — especially those working office jobs or doing housework all day.

If you never trained the core and glutes after your pain improved, your spine remained unstable.That instability causes pressure to return to the disc.

✅ Strengthening + chiropractic = long-term recovery❌ Urut alone = short-term relief

3. Bad Daily Habits Keep Re-Injuring Your Back

We get it — Malaysian life involves:

• Long commutes (Shah Alam to KL anyone?)

• Sitting for hours (office, lepak, makan)

• Heavy lifting (baby, groceries, water filter…)

These habits stress your spine every day. If your spine isn’t supported properly, your disc doesn’t stand a chance.

🪑 Slouching, soft sofas, or poor work setups keep irritating the same disc again and again.

🔄 The Cycle Looks Like This:

1. Pain starts → Urut or painkillers

2. Feels better → Resume normal life

3. Pain returns → Repeat

   
   
   
   

Sound familiar?

To break the cycle, you need to:

1. Decompress the disc (chiropractic care)

2. Strengthen the spine (rehab)

3. Change habits (posture, lifting, sleep)

“Saya ingat sakit saya hilang lepas urut, tapi 2 minggu lepas tu datang balik. Bila saya jumpa chiropractor, baru tahu disc saya masih terhimpit dan saraf masih tertekan.”
