What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc—also known as a ruptured or slipped disc—occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through the outer shell and presses on nearby nerves. This can cause pain, weakness, or numbness, most commonly in the neck or lower back.

Common Herniated Disc Symptoms:

Localized or radiating neck or back pain
Sciatica (pain that travels down one leg)
Arm or leg numbness, tingling, or weakness
Muscle spasms or stiffness
Pain that worsens with movement or sitting

Causes of Disc Herniation

Herniated discs can result from sudden injury or everyday wear and tear. Common contributors include:

Age-related disc degeneration
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
Heavy lifting or repetitive strain
Sports injuries or auto accidents
Obesity and lack of core strength

If you’re feeling limited by spine pain in your job, commute, or family life, it’s time to seek help.
