Herniated Disc
A herniated disc is a fragment of the disc nucleus that is pushed out of the annulus, into the spinal canal through a tear or rupture in the annulus. Discs that become herniated usually are in an early stage of degeneration. The spinal canal has limited space, which is inadequate for the spinal nerve and the displaced herniated disc fragment. Due to this displacement, the disc presses on spinal nerves, often producing pain, which may be severe.
Symptoms of Herniated Disc include:
- Arm or leg pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness
Treatment options for Herniated Disc:
-
The initial treatment for a herniated disc is usually conservative and nonsurgical.
