Herniated Intervertebral Disc
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
An intervertebral disc prolapse, also known as a herniated disc, occurs when the inner material of one of the discs that cushion the vertebrae shifts out of place and can press on nearby nerves.
Common symptoms: back or neck pain that sometimes radiates into an arm or a leg, tingling or weakness in the affected area.
Common causes: age-related wear, strain from lifting heavy objects and sustained postures.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist evaluates the spine and the source of the pain. If the discomfort persists, radiates or is accompanied by loss of strength, it is best to have it assessed by a professional to guide appropriate care.
