What is Herniated Disc? *Sometimes referred to as slipped or ruptured disc *Occurs when a tear or weakness in the outer layer of the disc allows the inner layer to push out into the spinal canal *We treat with a minimally-invasive, simple laser procedure Your spinal column is made up of bones that are cushioned by small discs consisting of a tough out layer (annulus) and a soft inner layer (nucleus). These discs act as shock absorbers, protecting the spine and nerves from the stress of everyday tasks and strenuous work such as heavy lifting. When a disc herniates, a tear or weakness in the annulus allows the jelly-like nucleus to push out into the spinal canal. If this puts pressure on a spinal nerve, pain, numbness or weakness in the back, legs or arms results. Herniated discs are most common in the lower spine, but about 10% occur in the neck.
