The discs in your spine act as a doughnut-like cushion between your back’s hard bones, known as vertebrae. The jelly-like substance in the center of the disc provides that cushion. It’s similar to air escaping from a cushion or balloon if it leaks out of your disc due to injury or compression. Depending on where the damaged disc is located, the padding and protection become less effective, resulting in upper back pain, middle back pain, or lower back pain.

At Pain Management NYC, your doctor talks to you about herniated disc treatments if he determines that one or more of your vertebral discs has developed a leak. These types of problems are also referred to as a ruptured disc, bulging disc, protruding disc, or slipped disc. The result is usually a painful pinched nerve.

Risk Factors For A Herniated Disc

The most common risk factors for a herniated disc include:

Sedentary lifestyle.
Weight gain.
Lack of regular exercise.
Occupations that require lots of heavy lifting.
Poor lifting technique, especially over time, which causes repetitive motion injuries.
Genetic conditions or a predisposition to back problems in your family.
Significant or sudden weight gain.

Common Herniated Disc Symptoms

Some individuals with herniated discs experience no symptoms at all. In case you do have symptoms, the location of your herniated disc determines them. If your injured disc is in your neck, you may have sharp pains in your arms or shoulders. Sharp pains may run down your leg if the disc is located in your lower back. Coughing, sneezing, or certain motions can trigger the pain.

It’s also common to experience weakness, tingling, or numbness as a result of the compressed nerves, similar to a hand or arm falling asleep. These sensations might be persistent and aggravating because it seems that the limb will not wake up. The weakness may also make it difficult to grab or lift objects or even walk.

Seek emergency medical attention if you experience sudden bladder or bowel problems, pain that becomes worse enough to affect your daily activities, or any loss of sensation in your inner thighs, back of your legs, or around your rectum. Loss of sensation may signal compressed nerves that may become irreparably damaged.
