Symptoms of a Slipped Disc

  • Pain in the Back or Legs: Sharp or radiating pain in the lower back that may extend to the legs or feet.
  • Numbness or Tingling: Nerve compression often leads to tingling or numbness in affected areas.
  • Weakness in Muscles: A slipped disc may weaken the muscles surrounding the disc, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks.
  • Limited Range of Motion: Pain and discomfort restrict movement and flexibility in the back.

What is a Slipped Disc?

A slipped disc, also known as a herniated or prolapsed disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like center of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher outer layer. This herniation can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness, particularly in the lower back, neck, or legs. Slipped discs commonly result from age-related wear and tear, but they can also be caused by sudden injury, improper lifting techniques, or repetitive strain.

Symptoms vary based on the disc’s location and severity, with some people experiencing intense, radiating pain while others may have mild discomfort. Treatment can range from rest and physical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on the severity. Prompt diagnosis and management are essential to relieve symptoms, prevent further damage, and improve mobility.

Why Does a Slipped Disc Happen?

A slipped disc can result from aging, wear and tear, or injury. As we age, the spinal discs naturally lose hydration, making them more prone to rupture. Heavy lifting, incorrect posture, obesity, and repetitive movements may increase the risk of disc herniation. Genetics, lifestyle factors, and prolonged periods of physical inactivity also contribute to disc issues.
