Intervertebral Disc Disorders

Intervertebral disc disorders affect the cushion-like discs between the vertebrae in the spine. These discs can degenerate, bulge, or rupture, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Common symptoms include back pain, numbness, and tingling in the limbs if nerves are compressed. Factors like age, injury, and repetitive strain can contribute to these disorders. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to surgery in severe cases. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and good posture, can help prevent these issues and support spine health.
