What Are Herniated Discs?
What Are Herniated Discs?
Herniated discs, also known as slipped, bulged, or ruptured discs are a common spinal condition affecting many individuals.
The spine is made of 24 vertebrae cushioned by spinal discs which act as shock absorbers, allowing the spine to flex, bend, and twist.
The spinal discs are made of a soft, jelly-like center called nucleus that is encased in a tougher, rubbery exterior, known as annulus.
Herniated disc occurs when the part of the disc nucleus pushes out of the annulus, through a tear or rupture in the annulus into the spinal canal. The leaked material may press against nearby spinal nerves and cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm or leg.
Most herniated discs occur in the lower back (lumbar region) and may also develop in the neck.
Causes And Risk Factors Of Herniated Discs
Herniated discs may result from different causes, including
- Age-related degeneration: Disc herniation is often caused as a result of gradual ageing-related wear and tear, known as disc degeneration. The discs become less flexible as people age and are more prone to tearing or rupturing.
- Sudden injury or trauma: Accidents, falls, and sudden movements may cause discs to herniate.
- Repetitive stress: The jobs that involve repetitive lifting, bending or twisting may increase the risk of developing herniated discs over time.
The different risk factors that may increase the risk of a herniated disc include:
- Weight
- An occupation that involves physically demanding jobs
- Family history of herniated discs
- History of smoking
- Frequent driving, prolonged sitting or driving
- Sedentary lifestyle
Symptoms of Herniated Discs
Symptoms of Herniated Discs
The symptoms of herniated discs may vary depending on the disc affected, the location of the herniation, and whether the disc is pressing the nerve.
If the herniated disc is not pinching the nearby nerves, it may not cause pain. If the herniated disc is pressing on the nerve, it may cause pain, numbness, or weakness.
- Arm or leg pain: If the herniated disc is in the lower back, it may cause pain in the lower back, buttocks radiating to the thigh, calf, and legs. If the herniated disc is in the neck, it may cause pain in the shoulder and arm.
- Numbness or tingling: People who have herniated discs may have numbness or tingling in the affected body part.
- Weakness: Muscles near the affected nerves tend to weaken, which may cause you to stumble or affect your ability to lift or hold items.
In rare cases, a large herniation in the lower back may compress the entire spinal canal, leading to loss of bladder or bowel control, severe pain and weakness in both legs, and numbness in the saddle area that may require immediate surgical intervention.
Diagnosis Of Herniated Disc
Our spine specialists will combine different tests, including
- Physical examination: including strength testing, range of motion, reflexes, and sensation
- Medical history: involves understanding when the pain begins, triggering factors, and history of injuries.
- MRI: for identifying herniated discs and nerve involvement
- CT scans: for detailed images of the spine
- X-rays: to rule out other conditions
- Nerve conduction studies and EMG: to measure how electrical impulses are moving along nerve tissue.
Our team of spine specialists will curate a tailored treatment plan for each patient ensuring the best possible outcomes.
