Could A Herniated Disc Be The Underlying Cause of Your Back Pain? Have you ever felt the sensation that an electric shock is going from your lower back to your legs? Ever experience weakness in your muscles or numbness in your arms and legs? If you’ve answered yes to either of those questions, it’s time to schedule your free consultation with our office to see a physical therapist…you might have a herniated disc. What Does It Mean To Have a Herniated Disc? The spine is comprised of vertebrae that are cushioned by flat, round discs. These discs have an outer layer called the annulus, which surround a gel-like material called the nucleus. Discs are located in between each of the vertebrae in spinal column. Their main job is to act as little shock absorbers for your spine. You might have heard a herniated disc be referred to as a “ruptured” or “bulged” disc. This issue happens when the disc nucleus gets moved out of the annulus and into the spinal canal – which has limited space as it is!

Because of this movement, the displacement often causes pain. A herniated disc can occur literally anywhere in the spine, from the lower part of your back to the cervical spine areas. How To Know If You Have a Herniated Disc Herniated discs can happen for a number of reasons, including a strain or an injury of some sort. Some people are actually predisposed for herniated discs depending on genetics, and some people naturally experience herniated discs naturally as they age. As a person gets older, disc material slowly degenerates. Ligaments will start to grow weaker, and when this happens, even the smal lest of movements (such as twisting or stretching) can result in a herniated disc.
