The Spine & Rehab Group

A herniated disc, also referred to as a slipped disc, ruptured disc, or disc herniation, is one of the most common causes of back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and arm pain. Often, people visit a spine specialist for back pain or neck pain and unknowingly have a lumbar disc herniation. Herniated discs affect the vertebrae, the bones that make up your spine, and the spinal discs, which provide support and flexibility to your back.

Herniated Disc Causes

Herniated discs are often caused by disc degeneration or weakening of the spinal discs. This can occur gradually over a long period of time due to normal wear and tear and aging. Traumatic injuries such as a fall or strain, sports injuries, and overuse can also cause disc herniation.

Herniated Disc Symptoms

Symptoms of a herniated disc vary depending on the location of the disc herniation in the spine.

Patients with a herniated lumbar disc (herniated disc in the lower back) commonly include symptoms that affect the lower back, buttocks, hips and legs. These symptoms include:

Lower back pain that may radiate to the leg (sciatica)
Lower back pain that increases when sitting or with movement
Numbness or tingling in the leg
Limited mobility and difficulty walking

Patients with a cervical herniated disc NJ (herniated disc in the neck) commonly include symptoms that affect the upper back, neck, shoulder, arms and hands. These symptoms include:

Mid to upper back pain
Neck pain especially when moving the head
Pain that radiates down the arm (radiculopathy)
Shoulder pain
Weakness, tingling or numbness in the arm or hand
Limited range of motion and difficulty moving your arm
