A condition where the soft cushion between your spinal vertebrae slips out of place, sometimes pressing on nearby nerves.
A herniated disc, sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its tough outer layer. This can irritate or compress nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs. It’s often linked to aging, injury, or repetitive stress, but targeted treatments can help you regain comfort and mobility.
If your symptoms persist beyond 4-6 weeks, worsen, or significantly impact daily activities, it’s time to consult a specialist. Seek immediate care if you experience severe pain, significant weakness, or loss of bladder or bowel control, as these may indicate a serious condition requiring urgent attention.
Rest, physical therapy, or epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain
Microdiscectomy or discectomy to remove the herniated portion of the disc.
