What is a Disc?

Intervertebral discs are found all throughout the spinal column except for the C1 and C2 vertebrae (the Axis and Atlas). These discs act to cushion the vertebrae and absorb impacts on the spinal column. While some people describe painful back issues as a “slipped disc,” this is a misnomer – discs don’t actually slip out of place. What they experience is a bulge, which is called a herniated disc.

What Causes of a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc can occur for several reasons, often due to long-term weakening or sudden trauma. Common causes include

  • Poor posture
  • Being overweight, which increases spinal stress
  • Sports or other traumatic injury
  • A sudden, minor movement (such as sneezing) revealing underlying disc damage

What Are Signs of a Herniated Disc?

Depending on the disc’s location, symptoms will vary: Intense pain in the legs, lower back, or buttocks

  • Lower Back Herniation – Pain in the legs, lower back, or buttocks
    • >Neck Herniation – Pain in the shoulders or arms
