What it is
A slipped or herniated disc happens when the soft centre of a spinal disc pushes against its outer wall and can irritate a nearby nerve. Despite how it sounds, most disc problems heal well without surgery.
Signs and symptoms
- Back or neck pain, sometimes with leg or arm symptoms
- Pins-and-needles or numbness
- Pain with bending, sitting or coughing
- Muscle tightness and guarding
