What is Disc Herniation?

A condition which refers to a problem with a rubbery disc between the spinal bones.

This condition occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. Some herniated discs cause no symptoms. Others can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. Not every disc needs intervention. When needed, treatment includes medication, physical therapy, and possibly surgery.

What are symptoms of Disc Herniation?
