A disc herniation, also known as a herniated disc or slipped disc, is a medical condition that occurs in the spine. It happens when the soft, gel-like center (nucleus pulposus) of an intervertebral disc protrudes through a tear or rupture in the outer layer (annulus fibrosus) of the disc. This can lead to compression or irritation of nearby nerves, resulting in various symptoms and discomfort.
Common symptoms of a disc herniation may include:
The severity of symptoms can vary depending on the size and location of the herniated disc. Treatment options for disc herniations include rest, physical therapy, medications, and in some cases, surgical intervention. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan if you suspect you have a herniated disc.
