Herniated Disc Treatment

What is a Herniated Disc?

The bones along your spine are cushioned by small discs. These discs allow your spine to stay flexible so you can easily bend, twist, walk, run, lift, and make other common movements. These discs can get damaged and bulge out or break open, pinching spinal nerves and the spinal cord. This condition is called a herniated disc.

Herniated discs can be caused by a wide range of factors, including simple wear and tear of the disc as you get older and sudden injuries, such as falls and car accidents.

A herniated disc causes severe pain in the back that carries through all the way to the legs. Even the simplest activities and movements can cause discomfort and prevent you from being active.
