What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc—also called a slipped or ruptured disc—occurs when the inner gel-like core of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer. This protrusion can press on nearby nerves, causing inflammation and pain that may affect your back, limbs, or mobility.

Common symptoms include:

Lower back or neck pain
Sciatica (leg pain radiating from the lower back)
Arm or shoulder pain
Tingling or numbness in the extremities
Muscle weakness or balance issues

Herniated discs most frequently occur in the lumbar spine (lower back) or cervical spine (neck), and symptoms can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain.

What Causes a Herniated Disc?

Our spine specialists in Wayne will evaluate what may have contributed to your condition. Common causes include:

Age-related disc degeneration
Improper lifting or repetitive motion injuries
Prolonged sitting and poor posture
Excess body weight increasing spinal pressure
Trauma from falls, car accidents, or sports

Identifying the root cause allows us to build a long-term plan tailored to your lifestyle and goals.

Diagnosis and Evaluation in Wayne

At NYSI Wayne, we start with a comprehensive evaluation that includes a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and a neurological assessment. Based on your symptoms and findings, your care team may recommend additional diagnostic imaging to confirm the diagnosis and guide your treatment.

Conservative Treatments for Herniated Discs

Most patients with herniated discs improve without surgery. Our team will create a personalized, non-invasive care plan to relieve your pain and support spinal healing.

Common non-surgical options include:

Physical therapy to improve posture, flexibility, and spinal alignment
Anti-inflammatory medications or muscle relaxants
Epidural steroid injections for targeted pain relief
Nerve root blocks to reduce inflammation around compressed nerves
Activity modifications to prevent reinjury
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to encourage natural tissue repair

We take a conservative-first approach, helping you feel better with minimal disruption to your life.

When Surgery Is the Right Option

If non-surgical treatment doesn’t offer sufficient relief—or if nerve compression causes progressive weakness or neurological symptoms—surgery may be recommended. Our surgical team at NYSI is nationally recognized for performing minimally invasive spine procedures that promote faster recovery and better outcomes.

Surgical options may include:

Microdiscectomy: Removal of herniated disc material to decompress nerves
Laminectomy: Removal of part of the vertebra to relieve spinal pressure
Spinal fusion or disc replacement for cases involving structural instability

Our goal is always to restore your comfort and function with the least invasive approach possible.
