🧠 What Is a Herniated Disc?

The spine is made up of bones (vertebrae) cushioned by soft discs. When one of these discs bulges or ruptures, it may compress nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness—often radiating down the arms or legs.

Common Sites:

• Lumbar Spine (lower back) – causing leg pain (sciatica)

• Cervical Spine (neck) – causing arm pain and weakness

⚠️ Symptoms of a Herniated Disc

• Persistent back or neck pain

• Shooting pain in arms or legs

• Tingling or numbness in limbs

• Muscle weakness

• Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long durations

🔍 What Causes a Herniated Disc?

• Age-related disc degeneration

• Sudden twisting or lifting heavy objects

• Trauma or injury

• Obesity or poor posture

• Sedentary lifestyle
