What Is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft inner gel of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Herniated discs commonly occur in the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine) and may result from aging, injury, or repetitive strain.

Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

• Sharp or burning pain in the neck, back, or legs

• Numbness or tingling in arms, hands, legs, or feet

• Muscle weakness or difficulty lifting objects

• Pain that worsens with movement or prolonged sitting

• Sciatica—radiating pain from the lower back down one leg
