About Disc Herniation
Disc herniation, also known as slipped or ruptured disc, is a common condition that can cause pain and discomfort in the back and neck. It occurs when the soft cushion-like discs between the vertebrae in the spine bulge or rupture, due to a spinal subluxation, injury, or postural deficit putting pressure on nearby nerves. This nerve pressure can result in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area, often radiating down the arms or legs. This nerve pressure can also affect the other delicate systems and function of the body.
