Herniated Disc
A herniated disc occurs when the gel-like material inside a spinal disc shifts and protrudes, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. The discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae.
Frequent symptoms: Pain in the back or neck that may radiate to an arm or a leg, tingling, numbness, and, at times, weakness in the affected area.
Common causes: It is usually associated with disc wear over time, straining while lifting weight improperly, or sudden movements.
Which specialist treats it? The physical therapist works on mobility and strengthening to relieve pressure on the nerves, and the chiropractor can support the management of spinal discomfort. If the pain spreads to an arm or a leg or limits your daily life, it is worth evaluating with a professional.
