What is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like nucleus of an intervertebral disc pushes out and presses on nearby nerves, leading to back pain, numbness, and muscle weakness.
Common Types of Herniated Discs:
✅ Lumbar herniated disc – Affects the lower back and may cause pain radiating to the legs (sciatica).
✅ Cervical herniated disc – Affects the neck and may cause arm pain and numbness.
✅ Thoracic herniated disc – A rare condition that can cause mid-back and chest pain.
