What Is a Herniated Disc?

Also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, a herniated disc occurs when the soft inner layer of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the tougher exterior. This disc material can irritate or compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness.

Common Symptoms:

  • Lower back or neck pain
  • Sciatica (radiating leg pain)
  • Arm or shoulder pain
  • Numbness or tingling in limbs
  • Muscle weakness or spasms
  • Pins and needles sensations

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

Causes of Herniated Discs

A herniated disc may develop from a single injury or from gradual wear and tear. Common risk factors include:

  • Age-related disc degeneration
  • Improper lifting or bending
  • High-impact injuries (falls, accidents)
  • Sedentary lifestyle or poor posture
  • Obesity or repetitive strain
  • Sports or job-related stress on the spine

If your back pain began after a trauma or has gradually worsened over time, it’s important to get an expert evaluation.

Diagnosing a Herniated Disc in NYC

At our Manhattan office, we use a patient-first, precision-focused approach. Diagnosis begins with a detailed clinical assessment of your symptoms, mobility, and nerve function.

We may recommend:

  • MRI scans for detailed soft tissue imaging
  • CT scans or X-rays to check spinal alignment
  • EMG (electromyography) to evaluate nerve signals

All imaging and diagnostics are available on-site, so you won’t have to travel to multiple locations.
