Understanding Herniated Discs - Symptoms, Causes, and Effective Treatments

Apex Interventional Pain & Spine12 Aug, 2024Health

A herniated disc occurs when the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in its outer layer. This can press on nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs. You might experience sharp or radiating pain, tingling, or muscle weakness, as a result. To address these symptoms, treatment options include physical therapy and medication. In more severe cases, injections or surgery may be necessary.
