Prolapsed Lumbar Intervertebral Disc (PLID) is becoming increasingly common in Bangladesh, particularly among individuals leading sedentary lifestyles or involved in physically demanding jobs. It can cause severe back pain, leg numbness, and even difficulty in walking if not treated timely.
Early diagnosis and appropriate management — whether conservative or surgical — can significantly improve quality of life. At the Bangladesh Paediatric Neurocare Centre, we are committed to providing evidence-based care for spinal disorders in both adults and children.
