A herniated disc occurs when the soft, gel-like centre of an intervertebral disc pushes through a crack in the tougher outer casing, irritating nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Symptoms:
- Sharp, shooting pain in the arm (cervical) or leg (lumbar)
- Numbness or tingling along the nerve path
- Muscle weakness
