What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc—sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc—occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes out through a crack in the tougher outer layer. This herniation can press on nearby nerves, causing symptoms that vary depending on where the disc is located in your spine.

Common Symptoms:

Lower back or neck pain
Shooting pain down the leg (sciatica) or arm
Numbness, tingling, or “pins and needles”
Muscle weakness or spasms
Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or twisting

Most herniated discs occur in the cervical (neck) or lumbar (lower back) spine.

What Causes a Herniated Disc?

Discs can become damaged from injury or over time due to normal aging. Common risk factors include:

Heavy lifting or improper movement techniques
Sedentary lifestyle or poor posture
Repetitive stress from physical labor or athletics
Age-related disc degeneration
Obesity and lack of core muscle support
Car accidents or falls

If your pain developed suddenly or has been building gradually, early evaluation can prevent complications and support faster recovery.

How We Treat Herniated Discs in Brooklyn

At NYSI Brooklyn, we believe in individualized, conservative-first care—offering both non-surgical therapies and advanced surgical solutions based on your specific condition and goals.

Non-Surgical Treatments:

Customized physical therapy to strengthen the core and relieve pressure
Postural and ergonomic education to improve spine alignment
Oral medications for pain and inflammation
Cortisone injections or selective nerve blocks
Regenerative treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

When Is Surgery Needed?

If your symptoms persist despite non-surgical care—or if you have significant weakness or nerve dysfunction—our board-certified spine surgeons may recommend:

Microdiscectomy to remove the damaged disc portion
Laminectomy to decompress affected nerves
Spinal fusion or disc replacement for advanced degeneration

We use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce scarring, speed up recovery, and improve comfort.
