Herniated Disc
What is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc, often referred to as a slipped or ruptured disc, is a condition that affects the rubbery cushions (discs) located between the vertebrae that make up the spinal column. Each spinal disc comprises a tough outer shell (annulus) encapsulating a soft, jelly-like core (nucleus). When a portion of the nucleus protrudes through a tear in the annulus, it results in a herniated disc.
While herniated discs can occur anywhere along the spine, they most commonly manifest in the lower back. The specific symptoms experienced by an individual with a herniated disc depend on its location. It can lead to discomfort, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg, contingent upon where the herniation occurs.
It’s worth noting that many individuals with herniated discs remain asymptomatic, and for those who do experience symptoms, most often, they improve with time.
