Herniated Disc

A herniated disc occurs when one of the soft cushions (discs) between the vertebrae in your spine bulges or breaks open. This can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness, particularly in the back, legs, or arms. It often results from wear and tear, injury, or heavy lifting. While many people experience relief with conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, and pain management, some may require more advanced interventions, such as injections or surgery, if symptoms persist. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
