Understanding Herniated Discs
The discs in your spine act as cushions between the vertebrae, absorbing shock and allowing for flexibility. A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like center of the disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer, putting pressure on nerves in the spinal canal. This can cause a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe pain that interferes with daily life.
Common Symptoms of a Herniated Disc:
- Severe back pain
- Leg pain (sciatica)
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Muscle weakness
- Pain that worsens with certain movements (e.g., coughing, sneezing, sitting)
