What is a herniated disc?
A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its outer layer, often irritating nearby nerves. It can develop gradually through wear, or suddenly from an injury or accident — with symptoms ranging from localized back pain to radiating nerve pain in the arms or legs.
When to seek care promptly?
- Sudden severe pain after an accident or fall
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness that's spreading
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Pain radiating into the arms or legs
