What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer. This herniation can compress or irritate nearby nerves, often causing sharp pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates through the arms or legs.

Common Symptoms:

Lower back or neck pain
Sciatica (leg pain, numbness, tingling)
Arm or shoulder discomfort
Muscle weakness or spasms
Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations

Herniated discs are most common in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions.

What Causes a Herniated Disc?

This condition can result from a sudden injury, but more often, it develops gradually due to wear and tear. Contributing factors include:

Age-related degeneration
Improper lifting or twisting motions
Repetitive strain (especially in physical jobs)
Prolonged sitting or poor posture
Sports injuries or car accidents
Obesity and lack of core strength

If your symptoms developed after a fall, repetitive strain, or chronic back stress, early diagnosis is key to effective treatment.

Diagnosing a Herniated Disc in White Plains

At NYSI White Plains, we start with a detailed physical exam and symptom review. Then, our spine specialists may recommend diagnostic imaging to pinpoint the issue:

MRI scans to visualize disc structure and nerve compression
CT scans to assess spine alignment
X-rays for structural evaluation
EMG studies to test nerve function (if needed)

Tailored Treatment Plans for Herniated Discs

Your care plan at NYSI White Plains will be customized to your condition, activity level, and long-term goals. We take a conservative-first approach—reserving surgery only when non-invasive options don’t bring relief.

Non-Surgical Care

Physical therapy focused on core strength and mobility
Ergonomic coaching and activity adjustments
Anti-inflammatory or nerve-targeted medications
Cortisone injections and nerve root blocks
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

Surgical Options (When Needed)

If symptoms persist or worsen, our board-certified spine surgeons may recommend:

Microdiscectomy to remove part of the damaged disc
Laminectomy to decompress affected nerves
Spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement for structural stability

We specialize in minimally invasive techniques, which reduce downtime and improve post-op recovery.
